A
fter my visit to a lavender farm, I was very excited to try my hand at planting my own lavender garden. I hand tilled a very small area of soil, added mulch mixed with sand and dirt, and prepared my starter pots of lavender. I had only purchased four 6” starter pots. Within a couple of months they were spreading quite nicely. You would have never have guessed Missouri off ers at least 10 lavender farms (one in the Lake area) with new farms cropping up unexpectedly. Many of the lavender farms sell products and their lavender at local farmer’s markets as well as off er a selection of lavender in their own shops and online. Some have restaurants or cafés, and host festivals and events. Visiting a lavender farm is a delightful way to celebrate summer and most certainly should go on the calendar for your annual outing. Check online as season hours for each venue change.
