Ali'i Kula Lavender
In February 2002, the Lavender farm opened to visitors to enjoy the beauty and serenity that Alii created, by offering the first and only Lavender Walking Tours. Educating both visitors and Island residents about the calming and comforting effects of Lavender. Culinary Luncheon and Wreath Making Tours soon were added, and two years later, over 10,000 people have visited this New Destination of Choice, Ali’i Kula Lavender. Alii Kula Lavender sits on 8.5 acres, with over 25,000 Lavender plants blooming and more than 40 different Lavender varieties. Though Lavender blooms in spring and summer, miraculously, certain varieties bloom year round there.  Over fifty, unique, quality Lavender products have been created, ranging from culinary, aromatherapy, bath and body. This is truly diversified agriculture at its finest.
