Lavender lovers, take note: This June 15th, the Red Oak Lavender Farm will celebrate its 5th Annual Lavender Festival on their picturesque grounds. With 20 different varieties of lavender and 2,000 lavender plants, Red Oak is the largest lavender farm open to the public in the entire state.
Highlights of the festival include live music, art vendors selling wares ranging from pottery to photography, live demonstrations of wool spinning and de-budding lavender, and the chance to wander and take photographs amidst the lavender.
