As beekeepers, we think about what we plant, where we plant, when the plant will bloom, and what the plant will provide for our bees (and other pollinators, of course!)

When our lavender is almost completely harvested, the sunflowers make their stunning debut! Built for pollinators, these plants provide ample flowers that produce both carbohydrate-rich nectar and protein-laden pollen. Their large flower heads provide easy landing sites for insects. And, once the bees and other insects have taken their fill, the seeds are a necessary part of a bird’s diet! What a fantastic plant!! 🌻

We love watching the bees pack as much pollen into their little “pockets” as they buzz from head to head. (See the video!)

Fun fact: Most of these sunflowers are volunteers from last year! However, we do save some of the seed heads for starts every year before the birds take their fill.

I’m here, just harvesting lavender for oil (like all the other lavender growers I know and don’t know across the world). It may seem glamorous, but it is work, work that is so satisfying to every sense.

If you need me, I’ll be in the barn…hanging bundles, debudding and cleaning buds, and distilling for hydrosol and oil that we use in our small batch products.

Oh, and if you’re participating in the #adoptalavender contest, make sure to post your photos by this weekend and tag us and use this week’s hashtags!

New winner will be announced on Monday!

Meet François! According to his maman, he has a natural flair for attraction. Bees flock to him, entranced by his rich scent and his confident tilt toward the sun. He’s thoughtful, polite, and well-scented. He’s a wonderful addition to the garden.

Meet Ethel! 💜🌿
This sweet little lavender plant just joined the family and had her very first sniff of big sister Lucy today. Let’s just say… it was love at first scent.

Lucy’s been loving the warm summer weather but she’s thrilled to share her sunshine with Ethel. Here’s to sisterhood, soil, and plenty of purple blooms ahead! 💜

Yesterday, we had some adorable and adoptable pups from @douglascountyanimalservices visit our lavender to help promote the DAWG Days of Summer Fundraising Event this coming Saturday from 8:00AM to 1:00PM!! Reserve your SPOT today! All proceeds go directly to DAWG for shelter medicine expenses!

Here are a few of our favorite photos 💜

Thor is a 4.5-year-old Husky with a big heart and even bigger personality! 💙This social butterfly has lived with young kids (even newborns!), other dogs, and cats—and he’s done great with them all! 🐶👶🐱

He’s got a strong prey drive for feral cats and chickens, though, so he’ll need a chicken-free zone and a secure yard—this boy can jump some serious fences!

Thor is available for adoption TODAY! Call the Douglas County Animal Services at 775-782-9061 and help Thor and others find their forever homes! 💜

Last night, I stumbled upon a tired bumblebee nestled between two stems of our Provence lavender. From there, I discovered a whole world of sleeping and tired little creatures, like the last video of the honey bee. This is a LONG reel, (and caption) but if you are able to take a moment and watch, you might be as relaxed as these critters were.

Back in 2018, we initially planted our lavender for our honey bees. Lavender is a perfect plant for the high desert as it doesn’t require a lot of water once established. It also feeds my soul ~ for those who know me and know my affinity to and affection for France and its beautiful fields in the south.

Our first 200 plants bloomed and buzzed chaotically that first year. We soon recognized the importance of planting other flowers and plants before and after our lavender bloomed so that all the pollinators who were enjoying the pollen and nectar provided by our lavender had more options. We decided to plant different species and cultivars of lavender, some that bloom earlier than our original lavender, double bloom or continually bloom once harvested.

In these past seven years, we have learned the importance of planting native plants. While all this lavender is amazing, many of our native insects have evolved with our native plants. Some NEED their native plants!

We have been working with @VitalBeeBuds to slowly replace our lawn and planting strips of native grasses, plants, and flowers. Also, our new field will hopefully be abuzz with activity next year, but we will eventually have native plants in pollinator strips and hedgerows there, as well.

We love lavender, but we also love bees, bumbles, dragonflies, damselflies, butterflies, moths…you get the picture. ALL of these critters need our help, now more than EVER!! Learn about integrated pest management so you don’t have to spray every time you think you see a “bad” bug or “weed,” plant things that are beneficial to different species of insects. Without them, we lose our birds, our bats, our fish, etc…you get the picture?

Come visit us this Saturday, July 5, if you want to learn more!

We were thrilled to share a special afternoon with talented artist Ashley Mavon and ten lovely guests. Our workshop kicked off with a tour of the lavender field and labyrinth where we handpicked our own sprigs to spark creativity for our paintings. Next, we indulged in delightful lavender-inspired treats and refreshments in the barn 💜. With Ashley's skilled guidance, we brought blank canvases to life, creating stunning moonlit lavender scenes. The variety of unique pieces produced was truly inspiring.

No worries if you missed this workshop - Ashley will return for another event soon… keep an eye out for details!! For those interested, we'll also set up a waiting list.

Life is short - make time for what brings you happiness 💜. We're overjoyed to share our space and pollinator oasis with you.

Pollinators are attracted to flowers that produce nectar and those that produce pollen. Did you know that lavender produces both?

As beekeepers, we love watching our honeybees enjoy the abundant purple blooms. But, did you also know that native bumblebees especially love these plants? Their longer tongues make it easier to access the nectar from the flower while the honeybee has to reach further into the flower. It takes our honeybees longer to do so, spending approximately 3 seconds on each flower! Watch the two posted videos to see the difference in time it takes for these two bees to feed on some of our plants in our demonstration garden this morning.

Happy Pollinator Week 🐝 Plant flowers! Especially native flowers, and those that benefit these very important animals, like lavender! 💜

Community is everything! We're still blown away by the amazing support from our friends and family who joined us for three days of irrigation and planting in our new commercial lavender field. (We still have a few hundred angustifolias to plant as well as placing mulch for weed mitigation and a bee hive or two in the field.)🐝

We're excited to share our future harvest with everyone, especially those who got involved and a little messy! 💜 As a heartfelt thank you, they'll enjoy lavender for life! 😂

Two years ago, we started to build a crazy space for more of our lavender. We wanted a space for people to actually experience the sights and sounds of lavender. We completed the labyrinth in May of last year. On May 23, 2024, we finished planting over 300 new angustifolia babies in which we have five new different cultivars! (Three of which are excellent culinary cultivars!)

Today marks one year of growth! It’s exciting to see color in some of the buds. Yes, I think we are crazy. This was so much work. But, putting one’s head down and digging in the dirt is therapy.

Thanks for reading! I can’t wait to invite you out to experience the labyrinth this summer! July 5th is our first U-Pick day! Make sure to register so you can harvest your own bundle!

PS the labyrinth is situated where our daughter got married four years ago. I was tired of picking weeds, so why not pick weeds AND lavender? 😂🤷‍♀️…and yes, the dogs thought they were helping!

🤷‍♀️Is My Lavender Dead?
💜How to Know When It’s Time to Replace It💜

🔎 Check for Signs of Life
~ Scratch Test: Gently scrape a small section of stem with your fingernail. If it’s green underneath, it’s alive!
~ Bend Test: Bend a branch. If it’s flexible, there’s hope. If it snaps, it may be dead.

🌱 Watch for New Growth
~ Lavender wakes up slowly in spring. If you don’t see any new growth by late May or early June (in our climate), it may be time to say “au revoir.”

☠️ Dead or Just Woody?
~ Older lavender can get very woody in the center. If your plant is mostly woody with little green, and pruning hasn’t helped over a season or two, it might be best to replace it.

✅ Time to Replace if:
~ No green growth by early summer.
~ Branches are brittle and snap easily.
~ Roots are dry, brittle, or rotted (rotted roots means overwatering-bad for lavender!!)
~ Plant has become more wood than bloom.

🪻Tip: Always plant lavender in a sunny, well-drained spot, and choose a lavender cultivar suited to your climate. We love Grosso, but our Provence is pretty showy here, as well!
