You’ll head home with:

• A baby lavender plant to grow at home

• A fresh u‑pick lavender bundle

• New knowledge about pollinators and lavender

• And of course, sweet memories from a beautiful day on the farm

This workshop is led by Whitney Hartman, Springboro High School science teacher with MA Biology, and owner of Hartman Lavender Garden (a Monarch Joint Venture partner), in partnership with Joy Pascoe, owner of Cedar Ridge Trails.

After the workshop, you’re welcome to explore the farm stand store which has lots of locally made lavender-inspired home, bath, body, culinary and wellness goodies - including those made by Hartman Lavender Garden!
