Orcas Island's unique misty, sunny climate produces the most sturdy, fragrant lavender in the world. We are a small grower, tending some 80 lavender plants, dedicated to making beautiful wreaths, wands, wall pots, sachets, and "sniff bags" for ceremonial occasions. We are located at Lavender Hill on the lower slopes of Mount Constitution.

Our lavender farming started in 2003, when we planted about 40 plants of several kinds. After for a couple of years, we fell in love with the sturdy cultivar, Grosso, perfect for drying as well as for wands, wall pots, and wreaths. Since then, we have added about 40 more plants, 15 of them this fall.

We started weaving wands as a hobby--useful side activity to playing Scrabble--and it took us nearly four years to develop the professional expertise that allows us to offer these to you with confidence. Meanwhile, from weaving and teaching others to weave, we became excited about collecting baskets, which we now are incorporating into our Lavender Hill business as gift baskets full of regional foods and, of course, lavender.

Although the wreaths are summer-seasonal, we dry our own lavender, so the bags, sachets are available all year; wands and wall pots are available until the supply runs out. We also incorporate these, along with excellent regional wines, cheeses, and other foods, into beautiful gift baskets to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other special times. We deliver these baskets anywhere on Orcas.
