Lavendar Harvest 2009
On my way to Vegas, in June, we drove by the Young Living Farms. The fields of lavender were absolutely gorgeous, rows and rows of beautiful purple blooms. I wanted to stop, take a stroll and inhale one of my favorite scents. A little piece of heaven.
Coming up this week is:
One of Utah's most spectacular events, Lavender Days is expanding from a two-day festival to a full seasonal celebration of the lavender harvest. If the fields are purple at the farm, you have the opportunity to stop by and learn about lavender essential oil, take a free tour of the distillery, and pick your own bouquet of fresh lavender. Stop by any time!
Be sure to join us on July 11 for the largest day of celebration with the annual 5K Run Through the Lavender. (Registration due tomorrow) Run or walk as you immerse yourself in more than 200 acres of vibrant purple fields.
Kristen Jensen is going, maybe she'll let us know how it was.
