Avoid Costly Mistakes & Cultivate a
Beautiful, Sustainable Lavenderscape
Growing lavender can be one of the most rewarding growing experiences—whether for personal enjoyment, farm diversification, or agritourism.
But planting lavender isn’t as simple as picking up a few plants from the nursery.
Many gardeners and farm owners struggle with:
-
Confusion over mislabeled plants and overwhelming variety options.
-
Lavender that won’t thrive due to poor soil, improper drainage, or low sun exposure.
-
Conflicting advice from nurseries and landscapers not specialized in lavender.
-
Wasted time and money experimenting with planting methods that don’t deliver.
That’s where I come in.

The Why
Lavender Learningscapes is a purpose-driven business rooted in ecological impact and education. Its core mission is to inspire more people to grow plants that contribute to carbon sequestration and climate resilience. Lavender, with its beauty, hardiness, and ability to reconnect people with the natural world, is the ideal starting point—and the heart of where this journey begins.
I’ve been a science teacher for over 20 years and have spent the last few years fully immersed in studying, growing, and understanding lavender. I currently grow over 90 cultivars and have traveled across the United States, France, Canada, and England to study lavender farms and their best practices.
I geek out over the science, history, and sustainability of lavender. I attend industry conferences, read research, and collaborate with experts to bring practical, research-backed solutions to home gardeners and farmers alike.
Whether you’re growing lavender for beauty, pollinator and ecosystem support, or as part of a larger farm business, I’m here to help you create an inspiring, thriving, sustainable lavender landscape—without the guesswork.
Case Studies
A Multi-Purpose Sanctuary in Carmel River Valley
Colleen’s Ranch
Colleen is a fourth-generation ranch owner in the Carmel River Valley with a deep commitment to cultivating her family’s land with purpose and intention. She envisioned integrating lavender into her larger regenerative landscape to serve multiple roles—culinary use, pollination support, and future essential oil distillation.
Challenges
Colleen needed guidance on where to plant, which varieties to select, and how to design for multiple microclimates across her diverse property. She also wanted to incorporate lavender into a stone labyrinth built with her family, designed as a prayer space for reflection and connection to nature.
Solutions
Through an on-site consultation, we identified three strategic planting zones:
-
Rose & Herb Garden – Culinary lavender cultivars chosen to complement existing herbs.
-
Orchard Plot – Varieties selected for dried bouquets, pollinator attraction, and oil production, while helping deter wildlife in vegetable beds.
-
Prayer Path & Labyrinth – Lavandula pinnata, an unusual, sprawling species ideal for dry, low-irrigation areas and aligned with the natural, meditative feel of the space.

2. How do I know if my space is suitable for lavender?Lavender thrives in many different climates, but success depends on choosing the right varieties and appropriate growing conditions. During your consultation, I’ll assess your growing conditions and recommend the best approach for your specific space—whether it’s a backyard, farm, or commercial landscape.
-
3. Can’t I just ask a local nursery or landscaper for advice?While many nurseries and landscapers offer general gardening advice, few specialize in lavender. I have spent years studying, growing, and experimenting with over 90 different lavender cultivars. My expertise ensures you get accurate, variety-specific recommendations based on both scientific research and hands-on experience with some fun unusual selections.
-
4. What if I don’t have time to maintain a lavender garden?Lavender is naturally low-maintenance when planted correctly. I’ll help you design a garden that fits your schedule, whether you want a hands-off approach or a more involved growing experience. I also offer full installation services if you’d like expert-led planting for long-term success.
-
5. What if I try growing lavender and it doesn’t work?At times, people struggle with lavender because they unknowingly plant the wrong variety to maximize their potential product goals or don’t set up the right conditions for their climate. My consultations are designed to prevent these common mistakes so you don’t waste time, money, or energy on unsuccessful attempts.
-
6. What makes your services different from other gardening consultations?I don’t just offer generic gardening advice—I specialize in lavender. I have traveled internationally to study lavender farming, attended professional conferences, and experimented with dozens of cultivars in different climates. My approach is scientific, hands-on, and tailored specifically to your needs. I take the time to get to know you.
-
7. Can I book a consultation even if I don’t have land yet?Absolutely! If you're in the planning phase, I can help you choose the best location for lavender, understand what to look for in soil and drainage, and prepare your future space before you plant. Getting expert advice early can save you a lot of time and effort.
-
8. What if I just want lavender for aesthetics, not farming?That’s completely fine! I work with clients who want lavender for a variety of reasons—whether it’s a pollinator-friendly garden, a peaceful backyard retreat, or a place to connect children to nature. I’ll help you choose the best varieties for beauty, fragrance, and low-maintenance care.
-
9. Do you offer in-person consultations outside of your area?Yes, I love to travel! If you recruit other serious clients, I work with you to offset travel costs.
