D.J. Jepson opened Wild Thyme & Lavender on July 24, 2009.  Prior to that, she was an IT director who wanted a change of pace from the corporate world. What sets her apart from the competition are global experience as well as living in different parts of the U.S. “It gives me a diverse picture of things as to what works well with my customers who are either relocating here or maintain second homes here.  I have a good sense of trends and a keen sense of listening and understanding what my customers want.”
