My lavender plant has started to produce a bunch of lavender, to the point that I'm not sure what I am even going to do with it all. I enjoyed tying a few bouquets and placing them around the house. It does smell incredible, but I'm not sure I have any more spaces to put them!

What do you all recommend?

Lavender sachets for drawers and wardrobes are a classic for a reason, keeps things smelling good and supposedly deters moths. I just dry the stems, strip the flowers and stuff them into small fabric bags, nothing fancy at all. Also worth trying infused into honey if you bake, works surprisingly well.
