Michigan Lavender Festival

Breathe in and say aaahhh.

It's time for the 9th annual Michigan Lavender Festival, hosted by Gabriel's Garden and Blake's Orchard & Cider Mill.

The organizers promise it's "a symphony for the senses." Enjoy soothing and fragrant lavender products, including soaps, sachets and lotions. Nibble on a gourmet lunch, sip Lavender lemonade, attend workshops, watch demonstrations and discover the joy of cooking with this lovely, fragrant herb.
