For centuries, lavender has been used for its calming properties derived from the sweet yet piney scent of the buds. Rows of beautiful purple buds travers along winding mountains might sound like a dream, but it’s something that can be experienced right here in North Carolina. On a hot summer day, you can smell the lavender in the air and the sight is equally pleasing to the eyes.
