Lavender help?

I have a small indoor lavender bush in my home. On occasion, as lavender does, it gets too 'leggy' and I give her a haircut. I have no idea what to do with clippings. I love the smell to much to throw it out but I don't cook with lavender all that much.

Lavender help?
dry it and sell it or give it to you friends as gifts
Reply:Put them in little muslin bags and use as sachets in drawers. Or just put them into a flat dish as an air freshener around the house.
Reply:potpurri..or however you spell it.
Reply:Hang the clipped bunched together upside down until they are dried, once dried, lavender will last almost forever.

Remove stalks and pop the leaves and flower heads into a cotton bag and place in your wardrobe or draws, make smaller bags for your pillow cases the bed will smell wonderful plus you'll have a relaxing sleep, lavender is renowned for it's relaxing properties.
Reply:Make potpourri or sachets with it.
