Violet Crown Monthly Meeting

Open to the public in person or with a link to join virtually, learn all about growing and using lavender in Central Texas from Tasha Corradini of Hill Country Lavender. We’ll have lavender-related door prizes for some lucky recipients and more. Our meetings in the auditorium behind the gift shop start at 9:30 AM with 30 minutes of social time to enjoy light refreshments and talk gardening, followed by the program at 10 AM and then an optional short business meeting after the program. Guests and garden club curious are welcome and encouraged to attend, especially if you like lavender plants.

Blanco native Tasha Corradini, who came to work for Robb as a photo assistant in 1999 while a high school junior, was later recruited by Jeannie to help with the growing lavender business. Tasha was involved with the development and expansion of the lavender product line, and during the 2004 and 2005 seasons was the farm manager. In 2006, Jeannie and Robb decided to move to Mexico so their children could attend a bilingual school, and Tasha, already well versed in all things lavender,purchased Hill Country Lavender.

Hill Country Lavender is nestled in a small valley in the shadow of the highest point in Texas east of US Highway 281. Distant vistas and amazing views of the undulating landscape and beautiful live oaks of the iconic Texas Hill Country highlight the drive to our fields, but it’s the close-up view that is most stunning. More than 2,000 lavender plants spread across two fields of neat rows on two and a half acres at the corner of RR165 and FM 2325 in Blanco County.
