Lavender Farm





We visited the beautiful lavender farm on the slope of the volcano. French lavender, provencal lavender and other varieties grow in long colorful rows. We visited a workshop where three women were making lavender wreaths. We drank lavender lemonade, ate lavender shortbread, and bought lavender lip balm. The owner collects beautiful sculptures, including many buddhist sculptures. Oddly, people put flowers in their hands or put coins all over them, including between their toes.

Miriam and Alice did a "treasure hunt" by locating stamps hidden in the garden and stamping a paper with 10 of them.
