The Garden Club toured Lavender Blue Lavender Farm-- check the link to see the picturesque shop and read the history of the area....
Fields of lavender.....
Owner Susan giving a lesson in pruning and benefits of lavender........
Wonderful little shop filled with unique items . Did I get anything ? Oh yes, I purchased linen spray and lavender balsamic salad dressing .
The second stop was Shades of Green Hosta Garden. Do check this link to see the many varieties offered and the lovely garden views..
We wondered thru the paths finding wonderful hostas , so many colours and textures.
How impressive in size when hostas are left to develop over many years.
Interesting signs , what gardener hasn't said this?
Statues.
As we wove thru the paths Ivory Silk Tree blossoms scented the air.
The owner Lisa spoke on the hybridizing of hostas , tissue culture and seed culture... we certainly got a better understanding of the cost of hostas from this talk. ...
With every garden event find I am learning something new or seeing a plant combination want to try in my own garden.

Is this a different lavender farm from the one we visited? Love the sign at the hosta place!
Hi Rosemary,
Looks like it was a great tour. I have wanted to visit that lavender farm for awhile. Lavender is one of my favourite scents.
My parents too were there recently for there garden club as well. Close to home for us, you right in my neighborhood and I didn't even know it.
Nice! Love those types of tours.
