Tuscan Heights Lavender Garden

Saturday  Conner, cousin Joyce

and I visited a lavender festival

in Whitmore which is about

an hour away from us.

The greenhouse and shop.

A few of the craft booths set up for the 

lavender festival.

Thousands of bees were buzzing around.

It smelled absolutely wonderful.

I liked just the lavender sign,

not the unfinished stake, or the 

burlap bow.

Loved this purple chair.

I'm thinking a thrift store

search mission for a cute 

wooden chair that I can

color purple and place on 

the garden path would be nice. 

I'm sort of liking those little button yo-yo

accents on the pillows.

I did like this mosaic topped 

iron table, but not so much the price.

These turtles caught my eye,

especially the plate edges 

outlining the turtle shell.

The plants in this garden

labeled with the variety name.

I liked that you could see exactly

what the plants would look like 

when mature.

Musicians playing in the gazebo.

Oh, and we all enjoyed some of 

the kettle corn, especially Conner.

I really liked this idea for a hanging plant stand.

It would be hard to keep watered enough

in our heat.

Saturday we're expecting temps 

to go back into the teens...

113*F.

Conner was looking a bit worried

because he say's the bridge was 

a bit wobbly under his feet.

This was in a little fenced shaded 

area where they serve

lavender tea,

lavender lemonade,

and lavender scones.

Conner loved the lavender tea,

and Joyce and I preferred the 

lemonade.

Here's the link for 

Tuscan Heights Lavender Farm.

There's an interesting story

about how the land was developed

after a fire devastated the area.

Here's another lavender farm
in our North State

and links to my posts about that visit.
