The stone farmhouse is a combination of old barn and new additions.

Ironically, the fields themselves had not yet bloomed because of an unusually cold spring, but the land was green and lovely. Jeannie and her husband have over 18,000 lavender plants in several different locations on the farm and share their knowledge of organic lavender farming with people from all over.

My classroom was in the screened atrium next to a huge stone fireplace.

We discussed the history of essential oil of lavender and its many uses in Aromatherapy, in complimentary medicine, and even in keeping the household fresh.

After class, I visited Jeannie's gift shop to see what new products the farm had to offer.

Goodbye to the Lavender Farm until next time - it's always enjoyable to teach in such a beautiful setting.
