Click here to sign up and join the fun!In a month my dear friends from Portland are coming to Seattle to take me to the Lavender Festival in Sequim, Washington, and I am so excited! Lavender is one of my favorite scents not to mention the beautiful color and it is a very versatile and useful plant in addition to being gorgeous! I'll be taking photos to share with you later, but I'm going to borrow a few today so that I can share some of the fun ahead of time.
We will be spending the night so that we'll be able to visit seven beautiful Farms on Tour in the stunning Sequim-Dungeness Valley. Growers share their techniques for cultivating, drying and using lavender, and visitors experience the perfume and beauty of this captivating herb. See dozens of varieties with colors and scents from sweet whites to crisp purples, while enjoying the sunshine, mountain views, scented breezes and open spaces of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.
The poster below is the one used this year to promote the festival.
In addition to touring the farms there will be a Street Fair where there will be more than 150 crafts and lavender booths, food, music, and more set up in downtown Sequim. Admission is free and there is free parking throughout downtown.
That looks beautiful. I look forward to seeing your picures and stories about the festival.

What a wonderful experience it must be to see all that lavender! I love the scent and wish I could grow masses of it in my garden. It makes wonderful photo opportunities when there is so much grown together.
ReplyDeleteImpressive! Makes the one lavender plant in my front yard look pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI just learned this week that you can use lavendar in pesto.
Wonderful shots. I am a big fan of lavender too. I have a small stand of lavender in my garden but would love to have a field of it.
ReplyDeleteIn the first photo of the lavender and the mountain, I couldn't help but notice the 'lavender' mountains.

Beautiful photos; especially the first one. My step-daughter used to paint lavender on aprons, pillow cases, etc. for a company that grew lavender. She gave me a pillow stuffed with lavender and it still smells wonderful after several years.
