Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm, Bath & Body Products

What is that white foamy stuff on my plants??

Spittle bugs will appear in early spring on your lavender plants and are detected by the white foamy spittle, which is emitted as camouflage!  Your plants may appear unsightly but the damage is minimal.  Damage may result in twisting or deformation of the leaves and stems.  Washing the spittle bugs off the lavender plants may only be a temporary solution, and could result in too much moisture in and around your lavender plant.

We don't worry about them in our fields, because as the weather warms the spittle bugs will disappear before the flowers bloom.

So relax about the white foamy stuff and look forward to the lavender season to come!

We WILL be open this Sunday, April 24th, for Easter. Hopefully it will be really sunny and you can bring your families by to enjoy the lavender farm. We'll even have some bubbles and candy for the kids!

We're open everyday, 10-5, and this weekend we're having a 20% off sale off everything in the store, (except Lavender Farm Faire Posters and Tickets) so it's a wonderful time to stop by!

We've just brought in some lavender plants for the early gardeners out there! Spring is a great time to plant lavender, as the lavender plants will have all spring and summer to get established before cooler weather comes. Later in the spring, or early summer, we'll bring in more lavender plants and more lavender varieties. But for now, here's what we have at the lavender farm:

4" pots: Grosso, Royal Velvet, Melissa, Otto Quast, and a 3" Regal Splendor. We also have a 1 gallon Hidcote.

We're also have a few indoor lavender plants, the variety "Pinata."

What says "Spring" better than rhubarb?!

We're excited to try out this recipe for Lavender Panna Cotta with Poached Rhubarb! It sounds delicious!

Mother's Day is quickly approaching! Find the perfect gift for your mother (or for any other special mothers you know) at Jardin du Soleil. Lavender has always been used for relaxation and makes a perfect "thinking of you" gift. Or perhaps you know she's a fan of our lavender products and want to indulge her a little this year. Either way, you're sure to find something she'll love. Can we recommend...

We have a large quantity of Lavandin Grosso (L. x intermedia) and Lavandula Angustifolia certified organic lavender essential oil in stock, so we're offering cut-rate prices on 5 gallon (640 oz) orders. We're offering 5 gallons of Lavandin Grosso for $1000, and 5 gallons of Lavandula Angustifolia for $2000, plus shipping and handling. That's only $1.56 / $3.13 an ounce!

Our normal wholesale price for 1 gallon Lavandin Grosso certified organic lavender essential oil is $416, and for 1 gallon Lavandula Angustifolia for $800.

Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil is a very popular lavender essential oil and is a great lavender essential oil to use in making products and soaps. Lavandula Angustifolia Essential Oil is a high-quality, sweet and perfume-like lavender oil that smells wonderful in bath and body products. Either oil can be used around the home, for aromatherapy, etc. All of Jardin du Soleil's lavender essential oil is certified organic, so it is a lovely addition to organic, natural products. Take advantage of this offer while you can!

We've added our deliciously scented Travel Candles online! Find them under the "For the Home" category, or currently they're appearing on our Featured Products! These travel tins are 100% Soy Wax and smell so good, you'll want to burn them everywhere you go. Make sure you get one to bring along on your Spring and Summer travels!

Lavender Saffron combines the sweet scent of Lavender with the earthy spice of Saffron. Both men and women love this candle, so if you're traveling as a couple this is a great candle for your room.

The Lemongrass Travel Candle is so uplifting and refreshing, we can't think of anything else to perk us up after a long day of traveling. If you like lemon or citrus scents, you'll adore this candle. The scent reminds us of a cold glass of lemonade on a hot and sunny summer's day: we're tempted to burn the candle constantly!
