Now that our growing season is over and all of our lavender has been harvested and processed, we would like to extend our appreciation to all who attended the 7th annual Finger Lakes Lavender Festival.
The two-day event brought visitors from all over the area to celebrate the love of lavender. Again this year we have Plank Road Magazine to thank for co-sponsoring the festival. Without sponsors we could not keep this a free event.
We especially want to thank the community of Skaneateles, our volunteers who we now considered our "lavender ambassadors" giving directions and answering questions. We appreciate our educational presenters for all of their support, on many topics from aromatherapy to cooking with lavender.
Thanks to the many lavender lovers who purchased lavender plants. The proceeds from the plant sale were donated to the Skaneateles Ambulance Volunteer Emergency Service and the sale of the Finger Lakes Lavender Festival art posters by Kathleen Schneider were donated to the Syracuse Rescue Mission.
We look forward to seeing you next year during our u pick weekends and the Finger Lakes Lavender Festival on July 11 and 12, 2015.
We value the land and community we live in. With your support we continue to grow!
