Lavandula Panorama Scene

Growers of lavender, olives and grapes

Lavandula is a little taste of Europe.

Follow the tall poplars up the driveway and find a rustica constructed by Swiss-Italians who stayed after the gold rushes. These stone farmhouse buildings cluster around a cobbled courtyard, surrounded by a beautiful garden, lavender fields, the creek and distant hills.

Stoechas lavender is in flower from late October. The English lavender is in full bloom from Christmas: the fields are patterned in white, pink, mauve and deep purple lavenders. Through January the flower stems are hand harvested using a sickle, and bunched for sale fresh or dried. The flowers are distilled, producing lavender water and oil for our own body products.
