From fragrant, garden-grown lavender salve, to spiced honey, to artistically crafted gardening books, to homemade candied nuts, the question won’t be what to get, but simply how to narrow it down! You can also stop and shop at Town and Ranch, or bring mom for a drink featuring Los Poblanos lavender gin.
