Lavender Farm

This past Saturday, Bob and I took a day trip. We went to the Country Cottage Primitives Lavender Farm in Shawnee, Oklahoma. While it is not what I expected, it was worth the trip. For $5.00 you get to pick a bundle of fresh lavender. I have a beautiful bundle in our bedroom. The smell is unbelievable. Before we went picking, we had a glass of lavender lemonade. Strange taste. Glad I tried it, but don't need to try it again.



This is a row of the purple lavender. The garden is arranged by varieties. While I don't know the names, the colors are light purple, dark purple and white. The bees are flying all over the place. The lady told me they were making lavender honey.


This is a view of the gardens from where Bob was sitting under a huge shade tree. I love the Angel of the Garden. The whole place is so serene and quiet.


I don't know what the deal is, but we keep running into lizards on our day trips. There were lots of lizards running around the garden. You really had to watch were you were stepping. They were so hard to see when they were just laying there.

Here is the link to their website.

There is another lavender farm outside of Tulsa that has a winery attached to it. We are going to go to it later on.


We ate lunch at the Original Vans Pig stand. Good Bar-B-Que. When we got back into the car, the smell of Lavender was amazing.

Our rating for this trip is a great big:
