Make Your Own Lavender Potpourri

Lavender
When making potpourri you can use almost anything in your garden to make an aromatic potpourri mixture.
Traditionally, potpourri is a mixture of dried flowers and other ingredients,
placed in open containers, like small bowls or cups and placed to allow their
aroma to delicately scent the room. Sachets are usually small cloth "pillows" containing potpourri, which can be used almost anywhere. Sachets have the
advantage of being portable, you can place them in drawers, pin them to pillows, or carry them in your purse wherever you go.

Generally, potpourri ingredients should not be finely ground, petals of flowers should be lightly crushed. Ingredients such as cinnamon sticks or orange peels
should be broken into small pieces or finely chopped.

Some flowers that are especially good to use in potpourri as well as some herbs that work well in potpourri.
