It's all about lavender at Waireka Road Natural Products.
This boutique company sells its own handmade lavender beauty and cleaning products, many of them made using locally-grown lavender.
The company, owned by Denita Tizard and Kelly Dudson, opened its doors to the public on April 5. Products include essential oils, cleaning products, scented sprays, deodorant, body scrubs, hand cream, bath salts, and many others - nearly all of which are hand-made by Mrs Tizard and Mrs Dudson, using lavender grown by Mrs Tizard.
"I've been interested in essential oils for about 30 years," Mrs Tizard said. "Then, about four years ago, my family moved to the lavender farm in Waireka Road, and it blossomed from there."
The two women are good friends, and when Mrs Dudson found out about Mrs Tizard's plans to make natural lavender products, she was keen to get involved.
