Since the summer of 2007, when my parents decided to retire from their lavender growing and retail business, I’ve been privileged with access to a field full of lavender which, sans intervention, would go almost completely to waste. The same activist spirit which led me to the Walk of Inspiration Across America has led me to preventing a field full of beautiful lavender from losing its value.
Since the summer of 2007, I’ve had the most wonderful privilege ever of cutting and distributing carload after carload of lavender, en masse, to friends, relatives, coworkers, charities, and thousands of random people in Portland and Seattle.
Fresh-cut lavender, which easily retails for $7 per handful, is so much more fun to work with when freely giving it away to thousands of people, carload after carload. It makes all the effort and expenditure well worth it!
Countless friends and family have joined me in the effort, and have also tasted the great fun of lighting up countless faces in the process! See for yourself:
