| Pictured above is a basket of freshly harvested English (Augustifolia) Royal Velvet Stoney Hollow Lavender In the spring of 2000, we transformed a piece of rocky land, overgrown with dying poplars into beautiful organic Lavender gardens with thyme walkways and a secluded Secret Garden. Our lavender plants are grown organically and the flowers are hand-harvested at peak times to retain the highest level of essential oils and colour of the Lavender buds. The Lavender bunches are hung to dry, hand stripped and hand sifted by us. It is a laborous task but well worth the effort to achieve a quality product! English (Augustifolia) Royal Velvet, Lavandin Provence and Grosso grow prolifically in our gardens which are located in a microclimate within the Grey Highlands of Ontario. Lavandin Provence and Grosso have tall elegant stems and large, intensely fragrant bud heads. Provence and Grosso are the most popular varieties grown in the south of France and we are fortunate to have the ideal conditions to successfully grow these varieties in the snow belt of Ontario! Every July, during our Lavender Harvest , we open our Lavender gardens to the public. Our guests are invited to experience "a little piece of Provence" while strolling along the Thyme walkways sipping our Lavender-Lime Iced Green Tea (featured in the Toronto Star last summer). You may pick your own Lavender and be inspired to create Lavender Wreaths or Victorian Lavender Wands with our complimentary instructions and demonstration. We have written articles on Lavender for the Canadian Organic Grower, Organic Earth Magazine, The Curious Daytripper and most recently, Dining and the Arts, summer edition (www.diningandthearts.ca). Our products may be purchased online (see Ordering Procedures), at our showroom in Burlington, Ontario or at select Fall gift shows in Ontario (listed on our front page in the summer).
