Have you thought about growing lavender for profit? Students across the country are sharing their experiences taking this dynamic online class. Click here to read what they have to say about our lavender growing class.

You have affordable options! After teaching more than 300 students in the US and seven countries around the world, we discovered many students didn't need the personal, one-on-one attention each week that Susan offered with the course. So we set up the class with two options. It's still the same class that earned Susan a 99% top rating as an instructor on anonymous Course Evaluations. One option simply includes additional one-on-one consultation by phone or email.

Description

You don't need to travel to France to enjoy fragrant lavender. Growing this ancient herb of love and devotion can be fun and profitable, even in your own backyard. From aromatherapy to culinary delights, from medicinal treatments to housekeeping tips, the versatility of this herb is unrivalled. Discussion includes plants to propagation, soil to sachet and tips on how to start your own lavender-growing business.

 

Participant Learning Objectives

Susan Harrington takes students through a year of lavender, discussing all they need to know to successfully grow this fragrant herb. Whether it's for fun or for profit they will be able to create crafts or start a small lavender business—even in their own backyard! Hints and tips include using standard household items—rather than specialized equipment—to propagate, grow and harvest lavender. Assignments include but are not limited to Internet research, soil testing and plant propagation exercises. All instructions, resources, recipes and more will be provided through e-mail and Web site links.

 

Course Outcome

Upon successful completion of the workshop the student will be able to:

  • Transform a corner of their yard or small farm into a hobby that pays for itself
  • Test their soil to determine its texture
  • Estimate the number of plants needed to turn a hobby into a small business
  • Select varieties of lavender for their specific characteristics
  • Reproduce lavender plants to increase their inventory

Instructor Bio

After more than 20 years of business management, Susan Harrington retired to reclaim a backyard overgrown with Scotch broom and blackberries. She planted lavender. Harrington sold fresh bundles of this fragrant perennial at the Kingston Farmers Market, and began educating customers on the many uses of this versatile herb. In the months following her first harvest, sales went from inter-neighborhood to international via the Internet.

 

More than 100 students have enjoyed her half-day course through local community college continuing education programs. Susan is pleased to offer an expanded online version especially suited for the small acreage farm. Whether you are interested in growing lavender for profit, growing lavender from seed or growing lavender from cuttings this class is guaranteed to provide practical solutions.

 

Now more than 300 students across the US, Canada, Central and South America and Europe have take this online course.
