The Shakers cultivated lavender in their meticulously ordered herb gardens, tending each row with the same care they gave to their famed boxes and chairs. Lavender served both spirit and home—dried for sachets, steeped for simple remedies, and cherished for its clean, calming fragrance. 

Inspired by the teachings of Mother Ann Lee, the Heart-in-Hand reflects the Shaker belief that labor, when done with love and clarity of purpose, becomes a form of prayer.The heart is purity of intention; the hand is the daily work that brings those intentions to life. This symbol serves as a reminder of Ann Lee’s enduring message:
“Hands to work, hearts to God.”
