Signature Lavender Essential Oil

At Lavender Backyard Garden®, we’re more than just a store — we’re a working lavender farm in New Zealand. Every drop of our essential oil is steam-distilled right here on site from Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia ‘Super’) grown spray-free in our own fields, and distilled each late summer after our open days. It’s the true scent of our Waikato lavender, straight from the farm to the bottle.

Love the bath salts

Love the bath salts, calming, relaxing, the third or fourth time we coming back to this product. Only thing is you don't do larger portions. Would love to see you have 500gm or kg options in the future.
