SEQUIM — With a title like Dr. Lavender, you’d think he’d minister to the health of the foliage.
But Paul Jendrucko, master gardener and lover of lavender, has anointed himself doctor to the people who suffer from black thumb — or just busyness.
While he holds no doctorate diploma, he has 10 years of experience and research in growing the soothing herb.
In quick, dry dispensations at farmers markets and the Sequim Lavender Festival Street Fair on Fir Street, which will be from July 18 to July 20 during the Srequim Lavender Festival, Jendrucko helps would-be growers look toward a purple horizon.
To start down the garden path, some of us need a little nudge, so Dr. Lavender provides three of them.
Just remember these prescriptions, he says: “Sun worshipper. Halloween haircut. No wet feet.”
