About Lavender & Blooms

Hi, my name is Wendy Perry, I am the creator and owner of Lavender & Blooms Flower Farm, a small business located in Nashville, Tennessee, established in 2024. Growing flowers and herbs has been my passion since I was a child, and many of my most cherished memories are sunny mornings helping my mother and grandmother in the garden. The love of Gardening and nature are integral parts of my life, and I feel so lucky that I have an opportunity to do what I love. I truly hope that my natural skin care products, flowers, and art can bring a little bit of natural soothing, healing, comfort, and beauty into the lives of others. 

This journey started about 15 years ago, when after several bad skin reactions and poor results from commercial lotions filled with chemicals and fragrances, I decided to start infusing natural oils with the harvested flowers and herbs from my garden to make a homemade moisturizer that I knew would be free of the irritants that were causing me problems. During many late nights and weekends, in between the craziness of juggling life, raising kids, and my job, I researched and tested out different concoctions until I finally found just the right recipe and created my first lotion bars! Almost immediately after I started using them, I noticed an amazing difference, my skin became softer and smoother, less itchy, remained moisturized between applications, and I haven’t had any irritation or rashes since! I started sharing them with my friends and family and they loved them too. 

In the years since my first lotion bar, I have formulated several other body products including body butters, lip balm, sugar scrub, and my favorite, magnesium body cream. I came up with the idea when I was looking for a remedy for my pain after serious back surgery a couple of years ago. I knew that magnesium had many health benefits like anti-inflammation, muscle relaxation, anti-anxiety, and promoting sleep, so I decided to make a topical cream formulated with magnesium that could be easily absorbed by the skin. Again, the effect was incredible, my pain was eased, my muscles were relaxed, I started sleeping through the night, and I even found it worked on my restless legs.

I think it was my satisfaction with the results of the magnesium cream and my desire to help other people like me who were suffering from pain, and looking for a natural way to ease it, that made me really believe that I could turn my passions and my hobbies into my dream job.
 

 Last year it finally became a reality! With a lot of help, encouragement, and support (plus some blood, sweat, tears, and manual labor) from my kids, friends, and loved ones, I have transformed my one-acre urban back yard into a beautiful bountiful flower farm! I specialize in lavender, dahlias, and medicinal plants and herbs for my skin care products. I also make seasonal bouquets, unique dried flower art, and natural soy and beeswax candles poured in reuseable glassware. I sell my products at local farmers and flea markets, pop-up events, festivals, at an adorable little shop near the Opryland Hotel in Nashville called Duckies, Candles and friends, and now you can order my body products online!
