Young Living’s Ecuador Farm grows a large amount of Lemongrass plants to create Lemongrass Essential Oil.  Lemongrass is harvested 4 times a year. It is cut to harvest and then it grows right back without replanting.  Take a look at these amazing Lemongrass plants!

Young Living’s Ecuador Farm has over 30 acres of Conoga trees/Ylang Ylang.  Ylang Ylang are the flowers that grow on the Conoga trees. These trees originated in East Asia and were transplanted to Madagascar over a hundred years ago.
