OHCC GARDEN CLUB

Blkrobn Lavender Farms

 

If sunshine had a scent, it might just be lavender.

​

This fragrant, drought-tolerant perennial from the mint family (Lamiaceae) has been delighting noses and calming spirits for more than 2,500 years. Native to the Mediterranean, lavender is famous for its soothing aroma, beautiful purple blooms, and remarkable versatility—from perfumes and cooking to natural remedies and relaxation rituals.

​

Our April speaker, Beth Italia, has turned this beloved plant into a way of life. As owner and farmer of an organic lavender farm in Ramona, California, Beth has spent the past ten years cultivating fields of purple beauty. She sustainably irrigates her lavender with collected rainwater and personally transforms each harvest into healing lavender products crafted with care.

​

We heard how Beth’s journey into lavender farming began, what she has learned working the land, and why this humble herb continues to inspire her every day. And there was more to enjoy! During the social time and for one hour following the presentation (11–12), Beth offered products for sale from Blkrobn Lavender Farms, including fragrant sachets, essential oils, fresh lavender bundles, organic soaps, eye pillows, candles, and more. It was the perfect opportunity to bring a little calm home.
