Since I still had 4 Lavender Farms to share with you I decided to combine these two farms. Would you believe we missed several farms, too? Sequim really is the Lavender Capitol of North America.
Olympic Lavender Farm
Most of the farms we visited had live music being performed. There was a great variety from Country to a Harp Soloist.
By this time we were so intoxicated with the lovely lavender that Katie would agree to all my photo shoot ideas! “Go sit amongst the bees” “Don’t worry they won’t sting you.”
Jardin du Soleil Lavender
This is a wonderful piece of property with a great Victorian home and garden and it’s for sale.
There was a maze on the property and Katie set out to conquer it…
Mission accomplished successfully. Another maze under her belt!
Time to sit a spell and enjoy my surroundings.
I had to get a shot of Jill with her camera documenting what stood out to her photographic eye.
We ventured onto the garden paths that surrounded the front end of the Victorian residence.
Onward and Eastward we headed to Port Williams Lavender via a U-Pick Berry farm. More adventures to come.
Tomorrow Katie and I leave very early on a flight to California to visit with family who are converging on Orange County. I don’t know if and when you’ll hear from me this next week but I’ll have another lavender farm posted tomorrow. Hope you all have a nice weekend.

Hope you have a lovely visit to the OC. Frankly I think Sequim has the whole place beat. I’ll be waiting to see what fun scenes you can capture while you are there, surely your clan gathering will make for a few great photo ops.
Just stunning! I think I can smell the lavender from here 🙂 Thank you for the virtual trip
Hmmm, wonder what’s involved in owning a lavender farm? Seems like it would be kind of fun; but I suppose there’s a great deal to do.
Have a fun trip!
So, are you going to purchase the Victorian house and lavender farm??
I would have been in heaven among all the lavender!
Oh, and it is great that you were able to enjoy this trip with Jill!
Were you tempted to put an offer on the Victoria house and lavender fields? What an undertaking that would be!
Loving the virtual journey with you, Ellen. Jardin du Soleil is one of my favorite lavender farms. I enjoyed a wonderful demo of their distiller. Was it in operation during the festival? Looking forward to tomorrows post.
I’m getting ready to purchase a Calming Collar for our Molly. Perhaps the lavender in it has come from your part of the world. So fun that you get to go to CA…..good for the soul. Our girls sometimes roll their eyes with my picture taking and other times they remind me that “this” might be a good picture for your blog mom. Beautiful picture of Katie amongst the Lavender.
You need to put a few of those lavender photos on canvas. Just beautiful!
That would be such a lovely day – I’m trying to imagine breathing in all that heavenly scent!
So much lavender and I love it!
I loved your photos of Lavender…I’ve got some growing in my newly renovated garden this year. And I love the hints of purple mixed with reds. I’m even beginning to enjoy wearing purple and red together.
Have a wonderful time with Kate…those vacations are so memorable.
Wow! That is alot of Lavender. Didn’t the smell become overwhelming? The pictures are wonderful and I love the garden gate. Thanks for sharing this post. BTW, your Katie is one gorgeous girl.
I’m coming from Indiana for my Lavender fix! Can’t wait…..
