Blue Willow Lavender Farm Part II!

http://www.bluewillowlavenderfarm.com/Blue_Willow_Lavender_Farm/Welcome.html

This place is a bit tricky to find but I promise if you are a lavender lover and are in the neighborhood it is totally worth your time to walk around, inhale the scents, and absorb the peace of the entire farm.  There are multiple places to sit, strategic places next to trees where there is shade.  The store is amazing and glowing with brilliantly flowering roses and lavender.

Tracy, the owner, is as kind and earthy as can be.

Truly a beautiful experience.

Lavender Wind Farm

Lavender Wind Farm lives on Whidbey Island up in Washington state.  Both farms allow you to go in and wander about to your hearts content, no charge. I highly recommend both, just for the scents alone.

There are rolling fields of lavender.  There is a giant garden which boasts flowers of many types, and also some very shy sunflowers!  The garden has a lot of other herbs like dill and chives, so just a simple stroll through the grounds is a very aromatically pleasing experience.

Someone was very artistic in their landscaping.  There is a pond full of lilies, whimsical little bridges  with metal fish ornaments, and even a purple water bath.   A closed gazebo/shed where you can see all of the lavender bunches drying.  But my most favorite thing was the lavender labyrinth.

I visited in the evening, with overcast skies and white lace clouds hovering over the mountains in the distance across from Ebey’s Landng.    I felt like I had fallen into an Ann of Green Gables book.
