Over the years I’ve heard interesting lavender talks at the Sequim Lavender Festival. Last weekend I heard one of the best yet at Victor’s Lavender. Any lavender farm is pretty by its nature and Victor’s is no exception. But Victor’s Lavender has one special difference: Victor Gonzalez.
Victor is an expert in growing and propagating lavender which he freely admits he learned through trial and error. He came from a farm family that legally emigrated from Mexico to the U.S. when he was 15 years old. His strong work ethic eventually landed him a job at a local Sequim farm whose manager was interested in growing lavender, a plant Victor had never heard of. Failures taught Victor one lesson after another until he was successfully propagating tens of thousands of plants. Today he not only produces lavender plants and products commercially he also consults internationally on cultivating lavender, including trips for the USAID’s Farmer-to-Farmer program. Click here for more information about Victor. He’s an interesting guy!
Here’s the front view of Victor’s operation. Tomorrow I’ll tell you about the police car parked in front.
What a lovely place!
I like that Victor is wearing a lavender shirt. Seems so appropriate. Sounds like he has a very successful business!
Does he wear a purple shirt every day, I wonder?
It seems he’s done well for himself!
Those fields are just amazing. Victor obviously knows what he’s doing. š
Great fields! Very cool that Victor wears a lavender shirt, but, given how important lavender has become in his life and career, it certainly suits him well.
Oh, dear! Another one of those worthless immigrants that will contribute nothing to this country except crime. . .wonder what Trump say about this one?!
