Lavender has become the farm's signature since our first block of 500 Munstead Lavender planted in 1987. Our first harvest was in 1988 and filled two wheelbarrows! We currently specialize in cultivating Sweet Lavender varieties (Lavandula angustifolia) for its scent and taste. Late blooming Lavender includes the True Spike Lavender (L. latifolia) and the new hybrid Lavadins (L. x intermedias). Each July we watch the emerging hues of blue, mauve and purple as Lavender Harvest time approaches once more. And the fragrance ~ Lavender Lovers come explore our site!

Welcome to Happy Valley Lavender & Herbs located
just outside of Victoria on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.



Almost Spring 2024!
Yes, we do have a few pounds of dried sweet angustifolia Lavender, food grade, for sale...Please call Lynda 250-474-5767 for inquires.

Otherwise, it's that crazy March weather...one moment sunshine, the next silly flurries. Sigh.

Weather permitting, it's tidy up time, and yes, that includes trimming & shaping your Lavender bushes from any winter damage or straggly stray arms.You can do a heavy reshaping, easily removing up to one third. Angustifolias can be trimmed even deeper but not your Lavandins or Spanish lavenders. Your Spanish lavender can start blooming by early April once the weather reliably warms up, especially night time temperatures. Deeper trimming may delay your bloom time by a week or so but worth the strong new growth. Questions? Don't hesitate to call or email Lynda@happyvalleylavender.com.

PS:I am setting up classes for Lavender of course, plus Edible Flowers, Blending Teas and Aromatherapy at Patio Gardens on West Saanich Road starting in April! I will be posting the dates here; check www.patiogardens.ca or call 250-652-8338
