Jill, I loved the article and wish my lavender (grosso) was big enough to harvest a few branches to make a wand, but he's still just a baby! I'm printing this out for future reference though. Your lavender looks great!! I hope mine grows that pretty in the coming years!
We also have a fantastic local herb farm, Beagle Ridge, that grows many varieties of lavender successfully in what they call 'dirty rock' (gravel). I've installed a rock bed in an attempt to grow lavender, and other herbs, as beautiful as theirs. Here's a link to the site with the lavender info and uses (about 1/3 of the way down the page): http://www.beagleridgeherbfarm.com/3600.html
I've never asked if they ship... kinda doubt it.
The lavender by my driveway is growing on top of a lot of gravel, because they brought in way more than they needed for under the driveway... it was almost impossible to dig out with all those big chunks, but I sweet talked a construction guy into scooping out a trench for me when they were working on another house... then he brought me a big scoop of nice topsoil, and now I have very happy lavender growing in good soil with excellent drainage!
