More on the Wonders of Lavender
Rosemary Nachtigall first planted lavender 30 years ago on her parents’ farm near Reedley. Today, her appreciation of lavender, prized for its fragrant flowers, continues to grow. “I find this plant offers comfort and beauty in stressful times,” she says. Nachtigall has about 150 lavender plants growing on an east-facing hillside at her Squaw Valley home. She and husband T.D. Friesen live on five acres, with about a third of that devoted to the Squaw Valley Herb Gardens.
