LOTE Primary - Corso de la lavende

August 19, 2021

Every month Madame Weightman is decorating a mannequin in the LOTE room with a French theme. For the month of August it is août – Corso de la lavende. This is a festival that takes place over five days, which includes a parade of floral floats.  The flowering period for lavender starts in mid-June and lasts until the end of August.   It is grown in southern France (Provence region) and is commonly used in soaps, oil, perfumes and home decoration. Since ancient times, lavender has been used to help treat illnesses.  Once so valuable it was called ‘blue gold’.
