“For Niko Christou it’s not about the bottom line or his growing business—it’s about the respect and nurturing of the land, the 15,000 organically grown lavender plants he tends on a daily basis and the people he meets.”

“It's the perfect summertime escape to our very own corner of Provence with, as owner Niko Christou puts it, "a cloud of butterflies and bees atop the [15,000!] organic flowering plants" that flourish alongside a small menagerie of chickens, horses and a llama.
