Protective branching
hairs that hold aromatic
oil glands cover a lav-
ender bud. Lavender
is widely used to flavor
foods and add scents
to cosmetics. Perennial
plants, such as lav-
ender, hazelnut, and
Kernza grain, live for
many years; farming
perennials can help
build the soil, feed pol-
linators, and reduce the
need for yearly tilling.
