Adoptions open soon — be the first to know
How it works
Adopt a lavender plant on a family farm in Provence for one year. Name it, follow it through the seasons in letters and photos, and receive boxes of lavender oil, soap and dried lavender made from its field.
One plant, a plot of four or a row of twelve — each with its own rhythm of boxes through the year.
Just your email and, if it’s a present, who it’s for. No account to create.
Afterwards you give your lavender a name and receive its certificate. Do it straight away, or later from your welcome email.
Letters and photos from the field through the seasons — and boxes made from its lavender arriving at your door.
What’s in the box
Each box brings lavender products made from your field — essential oil, soap, dried lavender and seasonal pieces.
Made from the previous harvest — lavender that has already been distilled and dried — so the field reaches you long before your plant flowers.
Made from the new season’s lavender, once it has been cut, distilled and dried.
Distilled from the flowering stems
For the everyday ritual of washing your hands
Bundled once the stems have dried
A little of the field on an evening at home
A soft herbal infusion for the evening
Example products. The selection changes with the season; anything unavailable is replaced with an item of similar value. Details

Your year with the field
Lavender keeps its own calendar. Here is what a year looks like when part of the field is yours.
You name your lavender and receive its certificate. Your welcome box sets off with lavender from the last harvest.
Frost on the rows, roots working underground. The plants are pruned into their round winter shape, and the first letter arrives.
The plateau wakes up silver-green and the rows fill out week by week. We send photos so you can watch it happen.
The rows turn violet, the bees arrive, and the stems are cut at their peak. You get the photos from harvest morning.
The oil is distilled and the stems dried. Your harvest box arrives — made from your field’s new lavender.
Meet your plant
After you adopt, you give your lavender its name. Through the year, letters and photos tell you how it — and its row — are doing.
Dear Sarah, Petit Soleil was the first in Row 7 to turn purple this week — a few days ahead of its neighbours, which did not go unnoticed. The bees found it before we did. If the wind stays quiet, the cutting starts soon. We’ll send you photos from that morning; we wish we could send the smell.

Give it as a gift
A printable certificate today, a welcome letter on the day you choose, and boxes throughout the year.
Add their name, an optional message and the day they should find out.
Ready as soon as you’ve adopted — perfect inside a card or under the tree.
They receive a welcome letter, name their plant, and the boxes begin.
The farm
Your adoption is connected to lavender grown by a family farm in Haute-Provence, where the rows are pruned in winter, flower in early summer and are cut in July. We will introduce the farmer and the field properly — with their own words and photographs — before the founding season begins.
Our storyQuestions
A one-year adoption of a lavender plant (or a plot or row, depending on your plan) on our partner farm in Provence. You name it, follow it in letters and photos, and receive the boxes of your plan. It’s an experience, not a purchase of land or plants — you don’t own the plant, the soil or the harvest.
Lavender products such as essential oil, soap and dried lavender, made from the field. The selection changes with the season, so the products shown are examples; if something isn’t available we replace it with an item of similar value.
Your welcome box ships shortly after you adopt and is made from the previous harvest. The harvest box follows in autumn, after the July harvest. Other boxes follow your plan — twice a year, every season or every month. Dates are estimates and depend on the season.
We are preparing the founding season with our partner farm. Until ordering opens you can reserve your plan for free: nothing is charged, and we email you first, with your founding price, when adoptions begin.
The prices shown are founding prices, locked for your first year. Before your plan renews we email you the renewal price at least 30 days ahead, and you can cancel before it renews.
Yes. Choose “Give as a gift”, add their name, a message and the day they should find out. You get a printable certificate, and they receive a welcome letter on that day.
Yes, anytime — cancelling stops the next renewal. Within 14 days of purchase you can cancel for a full refund if no box has shipped yet. The details are in our Terms.
We’re working on it. Adopters will be the first to hear when visits are possible.
From $89 a year, with free shipping to the USA.
