Offering robust plants, beautiful fresh and dried bundles, fragrant buds, for crafts, and lavender-based products, the members of the Kitsap Lavender Growers represent an emerging cottage industry increasingly noted for its high quality lavender products.

Most Kitsap lavender is grown in relatively small “patches.” Growers provide “hands-on” attention to their plants year-round to assure the highest quality possible for landscape plants, bouquets, crafts and other products. 

Superior soil conditions and a moderate maritime climate (aided by the famous “rain shadow” of the Olympic Mountains), give Kitsap growers flexibility to grow a wide variety of lavender plants that produce long-lasting fragrance as well as wonderful eye-appeal for home and commercial landscape designs. 

Harvest season generally falls during the month of July when many of the Kitsap Peninsula’s farmers markets offer glorious purple bundles of fresh-cut lavender. The rest of the year, many growers sell dried lavender buds for a variety of handcrafted products.
