Lavender Fields

They Said It Couldn’t Be Done In Georgia

They might be right! At Piney Woods Farm our desire to provide a unique experience to visitors has been experimenting with growing lavender for approximately four years. To date we have had limited success. All of these efforts pre-date the shift to the biological approach to agriculture and therefore we are presently experimenting with our extracts and teas. 

Georgia is a very difficult climate to grow lavender and this will be a very good opportunity to observe and examine our biological approach in action. In Georgia, lavender has a life span of approximately five years. In order to plant lavender en-mass you must be prepared to replace all plants periodically. Our experience shows approximately 20% dieback each year and at least 50% dieback on a four to five year cycle. If we can extend the life of the plant with biocomplete biology we would consider this a success. If you are interested in lavender and its uses follow us on our social media as we intend to update our efforts periodically.
