Welcome to the Lavender Association of Western Colorado

Sage Creations Organic Farm

We started our non-profit group in the Spring of 2009 with the help and guidance of Colorado State University Extension – Tri River Area based in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Our mission is to promote lavender as an alternative cash crop in Western Colorado through education, research, networking and market development.

Prized for its perfume, medicinal properties and beautiful color, lavender has been one of the most popular herbs for centuries. Lavender is well suited for western Colorado’s climate making growing it very enjoyable. The most common uses of lavender include cooking, distilling essential oils and hydrosols, and crafting.

We encourage you to join us at one of our monthly meetings to learn more about our association and how you can incorporate lavender into your garden.
