Most Popular Question
When does lavender bloom here? With 543 different varieites of lavender we can expect lavender of one variety or all from May - September, with full bloom in June. All timing of blooms depend each year on the weather and cannot predict or determine exact timing. The sunflowers we begin germination in winter for our first bloom in June to coincide with the lavender and a second bloom in autumn. We also have over 900+ Dahlias which begin to bloom in late June through beginning of autumn. And let us not forget our other flowers, such as zinnias, roses, hollyhocks, baby breath, snapdragons, etc... begin to bloom the end of June through till autumn. For more FAQ - check here.
From Harvest to Products
We started our lavender farm in 2014, when experts in the field stated we could Not grow lavender in Georgia, due to our large amount of rainfall, high humidity, and clay soil. With research and years of trial and error we found a way to grow lavender in Georgia - go beyond 2 year growth. We distill our lavender to produce the highest qulaity lavender products.
Why lavender and why try so hard to get lavender to grow in Georgia?
Lavender has many health benefits and more than just relaxing properties. For way too many years Georgia residents have not known about lavender and all the benefits lavender provide for us. It is one herb that we can actually use all parts of the plant. Intermedias are loaded with camphor for medicinal uses and Angustifolias (English culinary) is sweet and adds a bit of culinary complexity to any dessert or drink.
