History

Established in 2008.

In Barbara Cooney’s Miss Rumphius, Alice’s grandfather tells her that she must make the world more beautiful. When Alice grows into a woman, she decides to fulfill that goal by planting lupine seeds, which grow into tall, colorful blooms. The perennial flowers come back each spring to make the green hills vibrant with color and fragrance for all to enjoy.

When Lauren Boyle, Lupine Lane’s founder, was young, her father read her this book nearly every night. She was captivated by the idea of making a difference in the world and inspiring that same will in others.

Lauren has always had a hand in creative materials from paint to pasta making. It has been through these activities that she has gained a sense of fulfillment and self-​confidence and naturally, she wanted to share these experiences. Through her travels, she found another joy: learning about other cultures. She combined the idea exploring creative endeavors with learning about other cultures and Lupine Lane was born.
