And
then there’s the lavender . . .
In the fall of 2003, David and I (with the help of dear friends!) planted
an acre of lavender. Whew . . . what a journey it has been. Too much
rain. Too many weeds. Not enough sun early on—hard to believe
in Texas, but true!
At long last, the fragrance in the field is wonderful as southern breezes
cross the Pedernales River and drift upward across our gently sloping
rows. Our first field of blue is a memory of a lifetime. See for yourself.
Just click here to see photos of our field in bloom.
Upon developing the concept for VILLA TEXAS, the inclusion of focused
lavender products was an obvious and easy decision. What better way
to complete the Mediterranean lifestyle experience . . . than with lavender?
From soaps, lotions and bath gels to applesauce and cookbooks, . . .
from candles, perfumes, and lavender-filled sachets, heat wraps, and
pillowcases to linen sprays and cleaning products, . . . VILLA TEXAS
and “the Lavender Market at Villa Texas” has something lavender
for everyone!
