Sunday 5 July - Having visited Somerset Lavender last year well past the prime growing season, and having enjoyed lavender currently blooming in a number of Clifton gardens I've been quite keen to revisit Somerset Lavender while the lavender was still in bloom. After having a busy and fun filled fourth of July BBQ the day before this sunday seemed like a perfect opportunity to take a leisurely drive out to the farm. Before we could even see the field we could smell the lavender. Pulling into the parking lot I was amazed at the vibrancy and intensity of the purple, it was beyond all expectation. We took a stroll through the lavender garden which features different varieties of lavender than meandered around the large field, taking in the sunshine, the scent of lavender and the hum of bees. I got a small pot of lavender to grow on my balcony and remind me of our trip.
