Available for only a few weeks each summer. Reserve your 2027 harvest today. Every bouquet is harvested and tied by hand on our farm on Michigan's beautiful Stonington Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula.

Unlike commercial farms that cut large handfuls at once, every stem is individually selected before it becomes part of your bouquet.

Fresh Lavender Bouquet at a Glance

Why Our Harvesting Method Matters

Many larger farms harvest bouquets by gathering large handfuls of stems and cutting them all at once. We take a slower and more selective approach.

Each stem is examined and cut individually. We select stems based on:

• Flower development
• Stem strength and length
• Color
• Freshness
• Overall bouquet quality

This method allows us to leave immature stems on the plant and exclude stems that do not meet our standards. It takes longer, but it produces a carefully selected, farm-grown bouquet rather than a mass-cut bundle.

Choose Your Lavender

Traditional Purple Lavender

Our traditional purple lavender produces graceful, longer stems in classic lavender shades. It is the best option for customers who want a traditional fresh lavender bouquet for a vase or centerpiece.

Best for:

• Fresh vase arrangements
• Centerpieces
• Summer home décor
• Gifts
• Drying and displaying

Dark Purple English Lavender

English lavender naturally produces shorter stems with densely packed flowers, exceptional fragrance, and outstanding color retention after drying. Its compact blooms make it a favorite for sachets, wreaths, and dried floral projects.

Best for:

• Sachets
• Wreaths
• Lavender crafts
• Dried arrangements
• Small vases
• Floral projects

Melissa Lavender

Melissa is a rare English lavender with delicate flowers that range from creamy white to soft blush pink. Its unusual color makes it a beautiful alternative to traditional purple lavender.

Melissa is grown in limited quantities and often sells out before the end of the harvest season.

Best for:

• Special gifts
• Soft, romantic arrangements
• Wedding and shower décor
• Photography
• Mixed lavender displays

Lavender Combination

Choose a combination order to receive different colors, stem shapes, and textures from the season's available lavender.

Combination orders may include traditional purple lavender, dark purple English lavender, and Melissa lavender. Exact proportions depend on what is at peak bloom when your order is harvested.

When Will My Bouquet Ship?

These are living flowers, so we cannot promise an exact harvest date months in advance. June and July preorders will be fulfilled as the selected lavender reaches the proper stage for cutting.

Weather, bloom timing, and the variety selected may affect the shipping date. Orders are generally filled in the order received, subject to which varieties are ready to harvest.

If your order is intended for a wedding, shower, birthday, or another date-specific event, contact us before ordering. Fresh lavender availability cannot be guaranteed for an exact date without prior confirmation.

Fresh Lavender Care

Fresh lavender may be displayed with or without water. 

For a fresh arrangement, place the stems in a clean vase with a small amount of water. Keep the flowers away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Replace the water regularly and do not allow lavender leaves to remain below the water line.

To dry your bouquet, remove it from water, secure the stems, and hang it upside down in a dark, dry location with good airflow. Lavender may also be dried upright in an empty vase.

As the bouquet dries naturally, the fragrance will continue to develop while the flowers retain their beauty for months or even years.
