The Lavender Shop
Fresh-cut lavender for your community, and dried goods from the harvest. Every purchase sustains our mission.
Not a Commercial Venture
We are not a commercial venture focused on marketing and sales - what we sell are experiences and opportunities: regenerating traditions, ecological farming, crafting and bringing the joys of lavender into the hands of people. We believe handling and working with something as beautiful as lavender brings something back to life that a luxury product cannot.
We do have a small shop, and everything in it is made from our flowers - designed to give an experience that enhances life, brings healing and reconnects you to nature. Every purchase goes back into our community initiative, supporting the disadvantaged and carrying lavender traditions forward for future generations.
Keep an eye here for the beautiful things we'll be making with lavender stem, bringing traditions of old back to life - seasonal workshop activity kits to pre-order for Christmas, Easter, Autumn, Halloween, and our Festive Kids kit. You can also purchase fresh-cut lavender, or book a package for individuals, small groups, or establishments running their own experience days. Packages come with either fresh or dried lavender stock, homemade instructional videos - Hannah demonstrating and explaining each activity in situ - and all the equipment needed to complete the crafting activities.
This way, you can start planning wonderful activities for your community to enjoy next year. Pre-order fresh-cut lavender now for spring and summer.
Fresh-Cut Lavender
Pre-order for your group
Our lavender is cut fresh to order during peak season so it reaches you when it is most fragrant. Loose stems of lavender are harvested and supplied in buckets or pallets, ready to deliver by arrangement.
The harvest window is only a few weeks long, from mid June to early July, so we recommend pre-ordering and planning your group events ahead of time.
Throughout the Year
Activity Kits for Working with Lavender Throughout the Year
From fresh bouquets to craft kits for group activities through the winter months - what you can work with depends on when you order.
Harvest window: mid June – early July
If you want lavender for drying - to make wellbeing products, giftware or sachets - your order must be placed and collected before the end of June. After that the stems are too open to dry well.

Support this causeYou Can Give Too
Give lavender to someone who needs it
There are other ways to get lavender into the hands of people who need it. You can make a direct donation towards supplying lavender to community groups, or purchase a lavender crafting kit for a specific group, community or event of your choosing - and we will make sure it reaches them.
You can also pass this on. If you know someone, an organisation or a group who would benefit from working with lavender, share the idea with them. Sometimes the most valuable thing any of us can do is introduce two things that belong together.
