Why we chose them for Ghent
Lavender is cultivated extensively around the world as an ornamental plant for garden and landscape use, for use as a culinary herb, and commercially for the extraction of essential oils. It has also been used over centuries in traditional medicine and cosmetics.
Many species of Rudbeckia, also known as black-eyed Susan, are used in prairie restorations, for ornamental use, and by livestock for forage. An abundance of these plants on a rangeland indicates good health. They are deer and rabbit resistant.
