Some conversations return to the beginning: the first season, the first cutting and the years spent paying attention to one remarkable plant.
Episode 3 of the Lavender Insider Podcast brings together Dr. Jill Schramm, Paola Lagarre and Central Coast Lavender founder Lila Avery-Fuson for a conversation about lavender and women’s health.
Lila joins near the 28-minute mark. She speaks from twenty years working with lavender in Paso Robles, California, and from her experience growing, harvesting, distilling and formulating with it—work that has also shaped her practice as an aromatherapist and educator, and as one of the early pioneers of the American lavender movement.

An invitation to talk
Sharing my passion for lavender has always been at the heart of this work, and I’d like to invite you to come along with me. I’m making time each week for a casual conversation with you—to share ideas, answer your questions and pass along what years of living with lavender have taught me.
My hope is that this California lavender lifestyle brings you some of the joy it has brought to me and my family. Whether by phone or video, our time together is my gift to you.
It has always been about sharing what I’ve learned and helping preserve a beautiful dream.
With love and lavender,
Lila
