Why Lavender?
Lavender is more than just a pretty face, it’s a resilient, fragrant, and pollinator-friendly plant that thrives in the Pacific Northwest when given the right care.
Whether you’re just starting your lavender journey or want to get more blooms from your established plants, this class is for you!
Join us to explore what lavender needs to grow well, how to choose the right varieties, and how to prune and harvest for the best results year after year.
