Next weekend, July 17-19, is Sequim’s annual Lavender Weekend, an event celebrating all things lavender. As with any crop, timing can be tricky. But this year the lavender fields got the memo and are already showing off blooms. This is a view taken recently at Jardin du Soleil.
The festival features tours of our many lavender farms, a street fair, music performances, and a variety of other community events. Visitors can find an array of lavender in shades from deep purple to pink and white with varieties grown for essential oils, cooking, dried foliage, and classically beautiful landscaping. Most farms sell lavender plants, dried and fresh bouquets, and lavender infused products from soaps and lotions to spices. The view above is Olympic Lavender Farm.
… and a bit unique too.
I can almost smell the lavender – we’ve had a great time driving past the lavender fields on warm days – windows down – just enjoying the scent on the breeze. And the beauty too – so many beautiful fields of lavender.
Your lavender just blows me away. I never knew about it until a few years ago. So beautiful!
I wait for these photos every year; must be a marvelous time for photos.
What a pretty colour!
I would like to see — and smell! — this some time.
