Just out of interest Nichola, how much was it a kilo? The funny thing is I have just been pricing it up here in UK to make smelly bags for the drawers ready for our summer guests at our Isle of Wight house, and even despite having a lavender farm on the island, it is still very expensive.  I resorted to lining the drawers with lavender sprigged wallpaper and spraying them with lavender air freshner!!! May just spend some of the summer making them in Calis if it cheaper there.

Sorry, just see your post Pi55y...

You can buy it pre-packed in 100 gram bags which I think were 5TL each

I bought 600 grams loose at a slightly discounted price of 25TL

Hope my reply isn't too late

Thanks Nichola.  See you Saturday at the taster afternoon - looking forward to it

Hi Nichola, glad you got your lavender! I wanted to add theres people with a farm harvesting it up in Kayaköy. I met them at a FIG tabletop a few months ago and they were selling lavendar bags etc. An article about them on AGuidetoFethiye.com. Perhaps you can go and buy lavender flowers direct from their place?

Shame price seems to be rising, I remember it used to be so reasonable in UK, I wonder if theres a crop shortage or its difficult to grow these days? I am no expert on this. Personally, I love Lavender smell and I recently found a lovely cologne here, its always in my handbag, I am addicted to it
