Come relax with us at the Oregon Lavender Festival July 10 - 11, 2010

Plan to join us at the 2010 Oregon Lavender Festival to enjoy the Oregon countryside at its fragrant best. Dozens of different lavender destinations throw their doors open to the public so that visitors can experience Lavender in Oregon firsthand by touring lavender farms, lavender nurseries, and lavender celebrations of all kinds. Expect to Relax!

For a day or two, leave the world of hustle and bustle, computers, and chaos to soak in the delights lavender has to offer. Sometimes simply standing in the midst of a lavender field with its overwhelming beauty and aroma can be medicine enough to restore calm and recharge your spirit.

Tour Lavender Locations, each with its own selection of different varieties of lavender, and each with its own activities arranged for the festival. At lavender farms, you can cut your own bouquets of fresh lavender; at nurseries, you can purchase specialty lavender plants and speak to experts on growing and cultivating lavender. Each location has special events planned for the festival weekend, so be sure to click on the destinations tour page to see what each lavender location has to offer.

Historic Yamhill celebrates lavender with dozens of lavender-centric booths featuring fine arts, crafts, local lavender products for sale, lavender oil distillation demonstrations, live music, a plein air art show and sale, craft classes, lavender food, activities for the kids, master gardeners to provide gardening advice, and much more.
