Off to a Lavender Farm

   This afternoon we went out to a lavender farm called Blooming Hill.  I have been wanting to go to a lavender farm for a long, long time.  This is a beautiful little farmlet in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in western Loudoun County in Northern Virginia.  We happened to visit during their Lavender Festival!  That means, they had other interesting vendors, and served a cream tea with lavender flavored scones, shortbread, and ice cream!  I could not help but take a few pictures while we were there.  You can visit their website at http://www.bloominghillva.com

     Blooming Hill has several varieties of lavender plants and lavender products.  They also have a lovely gift shop of all things lavender.  It was a relaxing and fun afternoon!

This space looks like a Celtic knot with lavender in the spaces.

Edging the garden with china Plates!

Another view of the Celtic knot.

Watering cans outside the green house.

More gardens to explore.

Cute little green house.

I think wrought iron benches are so pretty.

Table set beautifully for tea.

Stunning presentation for scones and shortbread flavored with lavender.
