Family and friends thank you for your encouragement and support throughout the years.

Customers, clients thank you for your loyalty and faith in our plants and products.

Breeding a worthwhile species of Lavender is rewarding and we feel very satisfied and proud when this is achieved. Finding the right person to represent your selection and showcase this to the world is the next essential step.

We are very fortunate to be working with Malcolm and Trina Woolmore, Kiwiflora. Malcolm is our agent for all of my varieties, is world renowned and highly regarded in the Plant World. Working in the horticultural field as a P.V.R. specialist he has a wealth of knowledge and contacts, hence the success of the 'LEIGH' plants. Thank you Malcolm and Trina for your expertise.

Without the expertise and knowledge of Jesper Skjellerup from Graft Plants, graff -youngplants.com our fabulous lavender would not be in your gardens!

Jesper is the Principle Licenser and producer of the cutting stock in Kiwi Flora for Thumbelina Leigh and our new selections.

Jesper has set up the protocols for the succession propagation in place in Vietnam, which in turn sends plants to wholesalers thru out the world for the garden centres.

The conditions applied in this situation are due to his innovation and we commend him immensely for the continuing support.

Also in Santa Barbara, California, Robert Bell of Plant Haven, www.planthaven.com . Robert spent numerous years working at Lyndale Nursery in NZ before moving to California.

He is our supplier for North America and his expertise with La Petite Blue is without question.

Without the expertise of these players in the horticultural world our lavenders would be lost from the province of Marlborough, normally known for its quality world famous Sauvignon Blanc. We proudly add to the mix the wonderful aroma and colour of our Marlborough bred Lavender.

Over the 35 years in the journey of Lavender we have met many people that have helped build our business in both tourism an horticulture from all over the world.

In the early stages we hosted many many WOOFAH'S,[willing workers wanting to gain experience in N.Z culture an work force]

Generally working for their keep it was an amazing opportunity for them to travel N.Z. an meet many different aspects of business's an lifestyle.

Our website, that you are at present reading was created by Stephan Jordan in The Netherlands (xolution.nl). Stephan was our second Woofah and we are so greatful to him for his expertise an vision.

Our first Woofah was Nanda, also from The Netherlands an we share life with her thanks to the wonderful technology of today. Also dear Lex an Eveline.
