Our visit to Lavender Hollow Farm yesterday, September 26, 2009. Jenni and I went out to participate in the celebration at the lavender farm. Oh, how I love lavender!
Jenni spotted several Monarch butterflies, so we ran down the lavender paths to catch a closer look at one. Even though it's the end of the season, there are still plenty of lavender bushes blooming. The best time is early summer, but it was still beautiful today.

The distilled oil and the lavender water byproduct are be used to make other products including soaps, lotions, bath salts, shower gels and lavender spray. The boutique is full of wonderful gifts and treasures.
Since it was Lavender Hollow's celebraion of their new lavender distiller, we were able to watch the distilling process from beginning to end. We enjoyed the beautiful farm, and lavender goodies. Oh, did I mention the lavnder lemonade! It was fantastic. The farm is so peaceful and pleasant, you can't help but feel calm and relaxed. I highly recommend, you visit this wonderful place. Lavender Hollow is owned by Bill and Alice Taylor.

Mumzie, that is a great post and I always love to visit with Alice, Bill and family at the farm. They are a wonderful family and what a beautiful place they have made. It is lots of fun to see and don't forget that huge tree that you can sit under and have your lavender drink! sandi
