Victoria's LavenderAbout Victoria's Lavender
– from Marilyn Thompson, Owner of Victoria’s
Lavender
The mission of Victoria's Lavender is to provide pure and natural
ingredients in quality products that are beneficial to the body and
soothing to the soul. We work hard at creating lavender products that are
high in quality as well as attractive.
Victoria's
Lavender has its roots in the rapidly growing wine country in Oregon. The
business grew out of a dream to use the property my husband and I had
purchased, and built a home on. Shortly after, Troy was diagnosed with
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, an incurable and fatal illness.
After an extraordinary 4-year battle with this vicious disease, he died at
the age of 36. During Troy's illness I was unrelenting in my study of natural
alternatives since traditional medicine had nothing to offer. I have
learned to respect the natural products around us, and strive to use only
toxin-free products whenever possible.
After Troy's death I took time off from a demanding career, and
wrote a book about our experiences. A new chapter in my life started three
years ago as I embarked on this new and creative business venture. I am
delighted at the phenomenal response that my products have received. And
thrilled to be able to work from home and be close to our twelve year old
daughter, Victoria, as well as being able to employ other stay-at-home
Moms. I am humbly thankful to live and work in such a beautiful place, and
to be able to carry out our dream."
Al’s Garden Center is pleased to carry an extensive
line of Victoria’s Lavender lotions, candles, and skin care products
in our gift department.
