Our Lavender Garden |
|
As we grow as a business our direction keeps changing. We now have a
full line of our own lavender products. We design, manufacturer, label,
and ship them from Connecticut. We also sell wholesale to retail
businesses. Click here
to request our current wholesale catalog. This year (2006) we planted 32
lavender plants (Hidcote Blue, Munstead, Provence) in hopes of having
our own lavender to incorporate in our product line. We will be selling
fresh lavender and lavender plants in the 2007 Season. Right now our
lavender products use lavender buds and dried bunches imported from
France. Here are some pictures of the first year of planting lavender
and the results in 2007. |

On May 24, 2005 Greg and Wendy attended a Gala,
Black-tie event at the
French Consulate on Fifth Avenue in New York City. This event
was a fund raiser for the Morris
Jumel mansion in New York City. We were asked to donated
something for the gifts bags each person would be taking home. We
delightfully complied donating lavender sachets and our own Lavender
Linen Spray. Our products shared the bags with Estee Lauder, Pierre Deux,
and others. We were offered the opportunity to attend and couldn't
resist. |

In April 2002 we were honored to go on a whirlwind
trip to France, sponsored by the Forbes family. We stayed at the
400-year-old Forbes
Château in the village of Balleroy for 3 days where we were
waited on hand and foot. We went on to visit Paris for another 4
days. We have put together a small photo gallery from our trip.
We hope you will understand from these photos why we have decided to
sell products that reflect the romance and elegance that is France. |
