Oh I was so off. I have never seen lavender up close. That place must smell heavenly!!!!I wish there was somewhere like that around here. I must check and see. Can't wait til tomorrow.I love gift shops! Thank you Ginny for letting us come along on your trip! Blessings, Joanne
One of my fantasies in life is to live in Europe someplace on a Lavender farm. Mmmmmmmm..........
you smell sweet the rest of the week?
Here, household grow them on hedges.
I never knew what the bible was referring to there. I love lavender. How wonderful that you have a farm near by. I think I would be there every day.
This place sounds like a wonderful spot to visit.Just the thought of fields of Lavender,sounds relaxing.
Wow! I love what I've learned today about lavender!! Thank you, Ginny. This place is beautiful.. I want to go there. Where is this?
I'm so glad to see that you've bounced back from your illness. You can't keep a good gal down!!
Thanks for including us in your wonderful adventures. Now.. I'm excited to see what we have in the gift shop...
Glad to see you out and about! Beautiful lavender. I planted some a few years back, and it's almost ready to bloom. :-)
i did not know lavender farms existed. i saw where people guessed lavender farm and thought WHAT? i have heard of lavender water and lavender in drawers to keep them fresh. i am allergic to perfumes so have never had any. although some of the lighter ones i can handle. i have seen it growing at the nursery but did not smell it, did not know it smelled. it looks like a beautiful place to visit, was it strong smelling while walking around.
Do they sell the plants or simply make perfumes and sachets and other products?
That is so cool! Beth loves lavender! She has some by the back door and we smell it when we go outside. Then she cuts it and dries it and adds it to homemade paper and soap. It smells SO good!
Your header is beautiful!!! Where is that lavender farm? I wonder if my sister knows about it. By the way, thanks to you, she brought me a beautiful gurgle pitcher and I love it. I'll post about it one of these days.
Best,
Bonnie
Such an interesting post, Ginny! Your header took my breath away...and the scenes from the farm?! That surely must have smelled heavenly!!
Lavender is about the prettiest scent in the garden. I love to just smell the leaves. How lovely to be at a whole farm of the beautiful stuff.
Wow a lavender farm! That is a neat farm. No I did not know it was in the Bible.
That was one of the links I visited..how nice!! Or maybe it is in Shenandoah? Love the butterflies amber transparency with lavender!! I bet this was really enjoyable! You have a fabulous header Ginny..(hope your doing better too)-
Hi Ginny, What a beautiful place! Have a super great day!
Ginny...beautiful! I have some lavender in a pot on the deck and it is gorgeous. Didn't even know it came in white; wow!
I love the photo of you and hubby! made me smile!
I have plans to go out to Lavender Hollow on June 18th. But, before that, I'll be visiting Pageo Farm which is right here in town. In fact, hummm, I think I will do that tomorrow after I visit the Farmers' Market.
I'll definitely be back ... what a lovely garden.
I have always wanted to visit just such a farm. Wow! Beautiful pictures Ginny. Love the one of you and Phil - looks like you had a fabulous day to visit there. Can't wait to see your next post. Take care.
Oh Ginny...
How beautiful...The lavender bushes grow so beautifully...Light and airy!
I know the fragrance must have been so enjoyable...thank you for sharing. I don't think I have ever seen a lavender field...somthing I must add to my bucket list!
Blessings,

xxoo

I like anything that has lavender in it. I would dearly enjoy seeing one of these farms. We have no such thing here.
very interesting. didn't know some of those facts till now. thanks for sharing. and btw, the scent of the air around the farm must be awesome, huh?
Hi Ginny, i am new here, just followed your comment in Kanak's. You asked her why the Portulaca grandiflora (moss rose) is termed 9o'clock in India, actually it is called 10:00 o'clock here in the Philippines. Maybe India termed it when it opened, while we termed it when it close. Isn't it wonderful. BTW, your story here about the lavender is great, i learned something today. It is one of my favorite temperate flowers and perfumes.
What a beautiful place - and it must smell heavenly!
All those mounds of lavender are so pretty, the scent must have been incredible. I love the smell of lavender.
For some strange reason last night blogger wouldn't take my comment on your blog, it happened on one other one too. It was weird.
Ginny - you have the most unique places around you to go visit.
I love this Lavender Field - did it smell just as you walked around.
You and Phil are so cute together.
Aren't you supposed to be resting though?
I'm hoping to go to a Lavender festival this summer - thanks for the inspiration and encouragement to GO!
Bet that field smells wonderful... I love lavender. Did you go home with some?
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
