“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”

Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

…Imagine a world without man-made wars and patriarchal societies. Imagine a world led by women, mothers, life-givers. That’s a world I want to live in.

My daughters gifted me “Braiding Sweetgrass” and “The Serviceberry” by Robin Wall Kimmerer. These writings and reflections on our relationship with nature , science, and with each other, through an ecological consciousness based on indigenous teachings, has transformed the lens upon which I see the world. I only wish more people, including this world’s so-called leaders, could see the damage we continually perpetrate on our lands, our environments, and on each other.

We are still wrapped in winter’s arms, but spring is just around the corner!

We have two back-to-back events slated for this March: a Spring Pottery workshop with Michelle Mulligan and a special 4-part class on The Secrets of Tea Divining where we will teach you about tea blending and tea-leaf reading at the Minden Mill. We will be using our lavender in both workshops!

A few spots are still available for both - see link in bio!

Oh, and even though we are excited for the spring, let’s keep praying for snow! We need more of it this winter!!! ❄️

Did you know snow is actually one of the best things for your lavender in the winter?

Because snow is 90-95% trapped air, it acts like a cozy blanket over the soil and plant - keeping temperatures stable even when it’s frigid outside. Here in northern Nevada, our (typically) cold, dry winters and temperature swings from day to night are exactly what makes snow cover so valuable.

For lavender, stability is key - it’s not the cold that kills it, it’s the constant freeze-thaw cycles. A consistent layer of snow buffers our temperature swings and shields the crown from our drying high-desert winter winds.

So, the next time a storm rolls through the Sierras and blankets your garden, don’t feel sorry for your lavender - it’s actually pretty happy under all that snow!

We recently purchased a lavender harvester from New Zealand. This harvester is only available in New Zealand or China. We knew we would have some type of import tax aka tariff to pay but were surprised when we received a bill for a 50% tariff because the harvester is considered an aluminum derivative and not a machine!

Let’s Fact-Check statements our leaders have been saying about tariffs recently:

“Foreign countries pay the tariffs”

This is a frequently repeated but false claim. Tariffs are taxes or duties levied on imported goods, and they are paid to the U.S. government by the U.S.-based importer (companies, not foreign nations).

Reality: U.S. companies importing goods pay the tariffs. These costs are largely passed on to American consumers through higher prices or absorbed by the importing companies as lower profits.

“Tariffs do not raise prices for American consumers”

Related to the above, this claim is consistently fact-checked as false. Economists broadly agree that tariffs increase the price of goods for consumers.

Reality: Studies show that American individuals and businesses bear the overwhelming majority of the cost of recent tariffs on imported goods.

Historical evidence and recent studies show that tariffs are taxes that raise prices and reduce available quantities of goods and services for US businesses and consumers, resulting in lower income, reduced employment, and lower economic output.

So, if you didn’t already know, it’s really us, the American consumer, that pays the tariff. Thanks for letting me vent!

I had such a lovely time yesterday with the University Women's Club of Douglas County. Thank you for inviting me to speak on lavender and my Why! I love to share how I began this lavender adventure with others and in doing so, I hope to inspire others to learn how they can better connect with nature while supporting pollinators.

Thank you again, and I hope to welcome you to the lavender next season!

Thank you to everyone who helped plant the new field, cut their own bunch, made a wreath, sipped on lavender lemonade, painted a purple-hued vista, practiced yoga on the lawn, weaved ribbon for a lavender wand, nibbled on a lavender treat, celebrated a birthday in the barn, took a photo with a dog in the labyrinth, shopped in our petite boutique, gave the horse a carrot, named a baby lavender plant, attempted to pet a lamb, visited the bees, imprinted lavender in ceramic clay, hammered a lavender stamp into silver, laughed amongst new friends, learned how to make soap, and simply enjoyed themselves and shared this joy with others here at Sierra Shadows Lavender & Honey.

We are so grateful for you and the memories we created together in 2025.

Thank you 💜 Happy New Year, 2026 💜
We look forward to a new season with you 💜

We took these photos two days ago, December 20th, before this new storm system rolled in. It’s amazing how well these babies did this year! We planted the plugs mid-June and have monitored their growth since then. We stopped watering back in October but they continued to grow and thrive. Now, the real test comes: winter, with its rain, snow, wind, and oftentimes, weird heat spells❄️

We’ll post more as the winter progresses as we wait in anticipation for this field’s first complete season!

In the meantime, Think Snow! ⛄️ and stay warm out there! ♥️

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for a fun session on soap-making. As well as using our lavender oil and honey, guests got to choose from other scents to create their own take home soaps, just in time for gift giving.

Winter begins to take hold with each passing day: rain, wind, freezing fog, and eventually snow. Looking forward to this change in seasons: a time for rest and retrospect. 💜

We still have a few events on our calendar. However, our store will continue to be open by appointment after our last hurrah of the season: December 14th!

We wish this incredible young woman all the best as she embarks on new adventures and explores greener pastures. Her dedication and work ethic are inspiring, but it’s her bright smile that truly made her shine. From tending to our lavender fields and beehives to leading tours and crafting products, Olivia’s contributions have been invaluable. We’ll miss her radiant personality, kind heart, and contagious laughter. We’re honored to have worked alongside her and wish her continued success in her future endeavors.

Years ago I bought some food wraps in a little health food store in Hawaii. During the Covid era, I was horrified at how much single-use plastic we were burning through so I learned how to make these durable, washable, and REUSABLE wraps using our beeswax!

I just finished a batch as we were sold out! Come grab yours before they sell out again!

Did you know that lavender was used to protect against evil spirits and dangerous entities?

Its peaceful promotion as a sleep aid can help keep those nightmares at bay.

It is also believed that sprigs of dried lavender or sachets filled with lavender buds can be carried as personal protection or hung over doorways or windows to ward off any evil or negative spirits!

Dried lavender can be used in smudging for purification.

Bathing with lavender may promote spiritual awakening and relaxation.

Dried lavender was sprinkled on straw mattresses to keep the mice and their creepy crawly fleas away during the Black Plague.

How would you use this magical herb??

We have dried lavender if you’d like to keep scary monsters away this Halloween! 🎃 (We have other fun things, as well!)

All the lavender has been pruned and readied for the approaching weather. The recent Frostmas event reminds us that our season has almost come to an end. We have a few more events on the calendar before we, like our lavender, snuggle in for the winter ahead.

We are so grateful for the summer we had and the people we’ve met along the way. We love sharing what we’ve learned about growing lavender in Northern Nevada these past eight years with our community. We have made so many friendships and have created lasting collaborations with other pollinator-loving people.

We cherish every moment and every opportunity we have had this past season to bring people together to spread beauty and kindness in our valley and beyond. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey!

🌿 Feeling the weight of today’s news?
 You’re not alone. Uncertainty and stress can creep in fast during times like these — but even small moments of calm can make a difference.

💜 Enter lavender: nature’s gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and care for your nervous system.

Whether it’s a few drops of essential oil, a few sprays of our Sleepy Spritz on your pillow, a sip of lavender tea, or just the scent of lavender in the wind — it’s more than just a fragrance. It’s botanical backup for your brain.

📉 Studies show lavender can: ✔️ Lower anxiety ✔️ Reduce stress hormones ✔️ Improve sleep quality

Take a lavender break. You deserve peace — even when the world feels unsteady.

Under today’s cloudy skies, we harvested our new culinary lavender field. These plants have come a long way from 4” plugs four months ago. Shaping and mulching are next before winter sets in.

Mulching has begun! Why mulch?

Mulching the bare soil between our lavender rows in Northern Nevada can provide significant benefits, especially given the region’s arid climate, high elevation, and intense sun.

Here are some of advantages of mulching bare soil…

Moisture retention
Soil Temperature Regulation
Weed Suppression
Erosion and Dust Control
Soil Health Improvement
