Because our spring was so late this year it will be another week before we can start harvesting for lavender bouquets. When harvesting flowers for everlastings, we check the dark flower heads daily and harvest them only at the swollen bud stage, when just one or two of the flowers have opened on the flower head. Picking the flower heads at this time preserves their dark color and ensures that the flowers will stay attached to the stalk once dried. After we harvest we hang our bouquets in a dark, well ventilated place. The drying stage takes 1 - 2 weeks. U Pick will start Saturday, June 23rd. We are open Saturday, Sunday and Monday 10 - 5.
