2022 - Studio Blu - This year was another leap year for Lavender-Blu.
9 years ago we moved to this new location, hugged by the Nonquan River and surrounded by an eco system brimming with life that I vowed to protect. A year after we settled in, a journey began ... a small lavender eco garden was established.
4 years into the journey I took a leap to expand the eco garden concept into the big field ... to re-wild a space for peace of mind & artistic inspiration while growing more lavender.
4 years later another leap year - the opportunity to make Lavender-Blu an interactive eco garden aimed to teach about therapeutic horticulture - where calm is cultivated just like our lavender by nurturing nature and the arts.
'Cultivating Calm' is more than a motto for our business, it has now become an act of diligence - I fight for it, I strive for it, I protect it, I maintain it and I work hard at keeping on top of it. Calm is the consequence of many intentional personal efforts and choices made up of many variables that create this 'vibe'.
I would like to thank photographer Jill Ballinger Photography for documenting our journey of 'calm' for the last 7 years - I'll be sharing more photos with you from this year's chapter ;-)
