In the 17th & 18th century, French women popularized more decorative ways to utilize lavender. The “Fuseaux de Lavande” or Lavender Wands or Batons were made by weaving beautiful ribbons with the stems of lavender to enclose the fragrant lavender blossoms inside. Learn the historic art of weaving lavender wands to capture the fragrance of lavender for months to come with this decorative craft. You will cut long stem French lavender in the fields, learn how to weave velvet-ribbon wands, and make your own wand overlooking the Thomas P. Bentley preserve, surrounded by the lavender in bloom.

Lavender Bloom

We are at the mercy of Mother Nature, as she determines when various cultivars begin to bloom and how long those blooms will last. Our English cultivars are typically the first to start blooming in early June, followed by our French cultivars in late June/early July. The peak bloom is typically the third and fourth weeks of June, lasting into the first two weeks of July, with variations from season to season. Consult our Bloom Schedule to see past images of the fields by date. Check our Instagram or Facebook for Lavender Field Status updates in season.

Weather Policy

This class is RAIN OR SHINE. In the case of rain we move the class into the owl’s nest in the large barn.
