Lavender Bags
If you have lots of lavender in the garden, dry it and make lavender bags, to hang on your coat-hangers or pop into your clothes and linen shelves. Lavender is an insect repellent so will keep moths and fish moths out of your cupboards.
You can use any lavender for these bags, even the leaves. English lavender has the sweetest fragrance, French is stronger and has a touch of rosemary scent too, and Spanish is the least fragrant
Make any shape or colour you like! Who said they have to be purple?
