Vetiver is an aromatic grass indigenous to Haiti having a cornucopia of uses. It has been used to treat muscular aches, improve circulation, relieve melancholy and nervous tension, and to ensure restful sleep. In addition, it’s valued by the perfume industry for its fragrance-holding properties and is used in many popular perfumes and colognes.

During the embargo, Haitians deforested their mountainous island for firewood, exposing the slopes to erosion and land slides. Vetiver's deep and fast growing root system binds the soil and prevents erosion from water runoff.

Vetiver is an excellent pioneer plant on disturbed land. It improves the micro environment so local and native species of trees and shrubs can establish themselves later.
