Yesterday, the highly anticipated Little Tikes Magic Workshop was finally unveiled, and it did not disappoint. The workshop, located in the heart of the city, is a haven for young aspiring magicians to learn and develop their skills. The grand opening event was attended by children and their families, who were treated to a magical experience like no other. **The main idea of the event was to bring joy and excitement to children who have a passion for magic.** Upon arrival, guests were greeted by a vibrant and colorful entrance, hinting at the magic that awaited inside. The walls were adorned with posters showcasing famous magicians and their iconic tricks, setting the tone for the workshop's enchanting atmosphere.
The first hit (which for me is “The Herb Gardener”) lists it like this:
There s a few things I ve learned in life Always throw salt over your left shoulder, keep Rosemary by your garden gate, plant Lavender for good luck and fall in love whenever you can. 4 Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram; The marigold, that goes to bed wi th sun, And with him rises weeping; these are flow rs Of middle summer, and I think they are given To men of middle age.

I feel bad about this one, since somebody made a poster out of it (attributed to Shakespeare) and is selling it on Etsy. Probably more than one, I just happen to have spotted one.
I can see where everybody went wrong. Google it.

Lavender and Shakespeare
(Winter’s Tale, iv. 4)
Aha, you think when you look quickly – that’s by Shakespeare! The Winter’s Tale! No, poor googler. Look closer at the rest of the page:

Lavender and Shakespeare
(Winter’s Tale, iv. 4)
Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram;
The marigold, that goes to bed wi’ th’ sun,
And with him rises weeping; these are flow’rs
Of middle summer, and I think they are given
To men of middle age.
This particular site is actually providing the source line before the quote. So, yes, Shakespeare did speak of lavender in The Winter’s Tale – that whole bit about “Hot lavender, mints, savory, etc etc etc…” The quote above? That’s apparently from Alice Hoffman.
What’s unfortunate is that all the other hits that attribute this quote to Shakespeare seem to associate it with The Winter’s Tale, so I wonder if they all came from that one I cite above.
Apparently this was even in the movie Practical Magic with Sandra Bullock?
