Pedricks
Buyers are raving!
This shop got multiple 5-star reviews in the past 7 days.
Announcement
I weave my lavender into Victorian lavender filled wands using 30 colors of ribbon for 5 sizes.
The lavender crop is growing very fast now and I am looking forward to an exceptional crop this summer of 2021.
Each summer I use over 45,000 stems of fresh lavender to make the handcrafted aromatics I create from long stemmed English lavender grown here at Pedricks.
Only summer blooming long stemmed English lavender, can be used to make lavender wands during a short 2-3 month period of time each year. Too soon and the flowers are too moist, too late and the stems will break instead of bend.
Orders for large numbers of one color for events taking place prior to summer, or after summer, need to be placed either while the wands can be made or before the June to August season. I sure wish I could make them year round!!
The wands themselves last for many years. I have seen photos of a wand over 40 years old with the caption that it still smelled wonderful!
Some of these I use to make one of a kind pendants, brooches, bookmarks, and more; so you can take the wonderful aroma of real lavender with you where ever you go.
I am happy to fill wholesale orders and I have a Wholesale category in my shop. I am also happy to create custom "Reserved for..." listing for combinations of sizes and forms. Please write me to find out what sizes and colors I currently have on hand.
Thank-you!

5 out of 5 starsI'm so pleased with my Cape Primroses! I ordered 4 but received 5. 😊 They arrived in perfect condition and were easily settled into their new pots. Two are almost ready to bloom.
Etsy sellers always seem to go out of their way to make every purchase a very pleasant experience. Thank you so much! -

5 out of 5 starsI'm so happy. Used to have 2 strepto plants but they got mold. I have missed them so much, as they bloom all winter inside. I had asked multiple nurseries locally and no one had them or even knew what they were. The plants came alive, very healthy and I even got one extra. Thankyou so much. Camille

5 out of 5 starsI was surprised when I opened the box to find not 4 but 5!! healthy and happy plants, as well as a cute little lavender sachet. Couldn’t be happier with my order, and I’m super excited to see blooms in the coming weeks!!!!

About Pedricks
-
-
I grow summer blooming long stemmed lavender.
-
Every year, I wait with great anticipation for the new crop of lavender to bloom. Here is one bush as of May 15, 2014.
-
The bees and bumblebees are also very happy when the lavender begins to bloom. These two were very busy.
-
To make even a small wand, it takes at least a 12 inch long stem including the flowers. Here you can see 4 sizes.
-
I use over 45,000 stems to make over 3000 wands weaving 24/7. How many will I be able to make next summer!?
Pedricks - The Present and The Potential Future
Pedricks began when I discovered I could weave my long stemmed English lavender into wands instead of just harvesting the flowers and drying them for sachets.
Lavender falls off of it's stems when they begin to get dry and the ladies of the Victorian age created this unique means of preserving the lavender from their gardens so it could be used for many years to scent their clothing or any room they were in.
I have seen a photo of a lavender wand that was 40 years old, with the caption that it still smelled wonderful.
Since only long stemmed English lavender can be used to make these wands, I cannot begin making them until each summers crop is mature enough, and then I have to stop once the stems are no longer supple enough to bend and the flowers begin to fall off of the stems when they are cut.
In the future, I hope to be able to spend more time drawing, painting, and creating ceramics. I love ceramics and have been able to create enough to start a new store here on Etsy called CatDancingArtStudio!
https://www.etsy.com/shop/CatDancingArtStudio
I hope you will take a moment to visit it!
I will also be adding some new creations from my garden. Have you ever smelled Lemon Verbena? Someone described it as smelling like Lemonade, and it does! And I have begun making them into sachets. Lavender sachets are abundant, no one else make Lemon Verbena sachets. I also grow a variety of perennial flowers and will be adding them over time. For now, I have the Queens Tears shoot, but soon there will be much more.
Check back once in a while to see what else might be new here!

I have always loved working with my hands to create. From drawing and painting, to knitting and embroidery. When I first began to weave my lavender into wands in the Victorian way, it was as if my hands already knew how to do this. It is a joy!
