Easter at Purple Ranch

Posted by Jan on March 23rd, 2008 in News

As many of you already know, this is the earliest Easter we have had since 1913 and it won’t be this early again for another 200 years or so. Due to this, the flowers and plants at Purple Ranch Lavender Farm are just now beginning to bloom. The pear trees have already flowered and turned green, and the bulbs are coming out of the ground, lilies and such, but the lavender is waiting for some warm spring days to start flowering. Lots of bees, wasps, and butterflies to start the pollination cycle can be seen. Regardless, a good time was had by all as the kids ran around the lavender fields hunting Easter Eggs. You would have thought there was money in those eggs or something. Wait, there was! Got Lavender?
