SWMBO has just cut some lavender from the garden, I happened to mention
that my mother and grandmother used to put the flowers in small bags and
put them in the drawers, I had been under the impression that it was just
to use the perfume, but she says it was to deter moths.

Is this true?

Regret to inform you that on this one solitary occassion the Junta (SWMBO)
is right.
I don't think the modern day girls use it in their draws:-)
