Welcome to The Giving Place.
Our Story
We are located in the quaint town of Mt. Albert, Ontario on 8 1/2 acres of land. As a small, all natural, and pesticide free family farm, we have big hearts and dreams to share with you! Our journey started spring of 2018. We planted over 2000 lovely Lavender plants of English and French varieties in our newly cleared fields, and quickly added 5 beautiful bee hives to share our space. We are learning as we grow and want to offer the most brilliant experiences of lavender that we can, from natural products, bouquets and a variety of public & private events at the farm.
It all started with a vision,
and honestly if you had told me two years ago that I was going to plant over 3400 lavender plants by hand, buy 5 bee hives (which I am allergic to), plant a small field of wildflowers and sunflowers, fill the pond with fish, build a chicken coop and add some rescue bunnies… I wouldn’t have ever believed you! But guess what! I am doing it and loving every minute!
Our land continually gives in so many ways. That is why it is called “The Giving Place” The earth gives us everything in its most natural form, and that’s exactly how I want to share it with you.
The Giving Place is a place to escape the hustle and bustle of our busy days, to take a moment and breathe. To enjoy our fields and smell the lavender!
Our journey is full of excitement here at The Giving Place and we still have so much to do! How you can give back?
