About Lavande de Bois
Lavande de Bois is lavender of Boise. Actually, in French it
means lavender of wood. When Lewis and Clark first saw the Boise
Valley they named it Bois, compared to where they'd been, this valley
had trees, lots of them.
Lavande de Bois grew out of my personal obsession for lavender. I love everything about lavender. From it's ability to thrive in
adverse soil and water conditions, to the fresh herbaceous scent that
emanates when you brush past a plant, to the incredible variety found in
this one genus, I am inspired by it all. Ever since discovering my
love for growing herbs and flowers I have grown lavender. We have
a field of pasture grass that I have visualized for quite some time as a
field of lavender reminiscent of those in France.The vision
needed a purpose. I began a journey that led me to making
handcrafted soap. Once I started creating soaps and body essentials with
lavender I could not limit myself to this one aroma.Blending essential
oils to create natural and uplifting aroma has become one of the things
I enjoy most about my business.
The field of lavender is in it's early stages. We have a small field of forty lavender plants and an additional twenty plants scattered throughout our landscape. Our cottage garden has expanded to include herbs and flowers for use in our products. All grown with a commitment to using organic gardening methods.
I personally invite you to experience the natural goodness of my
soaps and body essentials. Each product that I put on my
webstore,
on a retailer's shelf, or at a craft show is personally tested on me, my
family, and friends. I call it the total goodness test. If
it's not totally good it doesn't leave the soap shop. You have my commitment to totally
natural goodness!
