Lavender farming, which also creates habitat for bees, is one solution for regenerating desolated mining sites on mountaintops which are left stripped of life and any potential use. The evergreen shrub, which is used industrially for its aromatic fragrance, can survive the barren rocky terrain left behind by mountaintop removal mining. A start-up has taken notice of this so it began farming the plant in the defunct mines of the Appalachian Mountains. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/...s-lavender
