Seattle Vacation Ideas

If you enjoy the smell of lavender and you like taking the ferry over to Vashion Island, then here’s a day trip for you: lavender picking at Fox Farm.

The Fifth Annual Vashion Island Lavender Celebration will run the weekend of July 7th and 8th 2007. Some of the events include U-pick lavender, a table with activities for children, and lectures and demonstrations on lavender cultivation, cooking with lavender, harvesting and drying the flower, and other related topics.

Local artists will be around for the event, so you can peruse artwork for sale. You can also buy sachets, lavender plants, and other lavender-related products during the event. Also food booths will dot the premises (and in keeping with the theme, chances are there will be some tasty treats that feature lavender). Of course, the farm offers numerous benches and open lawns for picnicking if you want to bring your own food.

The celebration will run from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, and more details should be up on the farm’s site soon:
