Lavender harvest success
TIMBOON P-12 School students have shown many hands make light work.
Timboon Agriculture Project (TAP) co-ordintor Andrea Vallance said a number of students in year 7-10 had helped harvest the TAP lavender farm.
She said it was a “great example of team work and many efficient hands working together”.
“The students reaped the Riverina Alan florets using battery operated trimmers and the more traditional sickles and secateurs,” Mrs Vallance said.
“Ms Wakefield distilled the flowers to produce lavender oil.
“Bunches of lavender were gifted to staff members and some lavender bunches left in the Timboon CBD for community members to collect and enjoy.”
