A little bit about me

It started innocently enough. After a rewarding career in retail management in the Washington, D.C. area, I've been growing and selling lavender for over 20 years here in the rolling, green foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge in Western Loudoun County of Northern Virginia. Through the years, I have collected more than 90 different varieties of this beautiful plant and, along with my landscape architect husband, Peter, I welcome garden clubs, groups, guests and visitors to Blooming Hill from April through December. Our son, Kevin, now graduated from college, and on his way to medical school, often stops by to help out around the place and our loving and loyal black lab, Tucker, is always at the ready to welcome you. I love this little piece of paradise we call home and business and I love to share my experiences in gardening and living life among the flora and fauna of a tiny rural hamlet. Aside from gardening and growing lavender, I love to go antiquing, and you can often find me on the golf course trying to conquer the game. It's never a dull moment in my life. Besides, there is never any time to waste on dull moments!
