I'm Only Here for the Food!

This entry is based on my trip to Kelowna on mid June 2008. My other entries on this trip includes:

Road Trip to Kelowna – Highway 3

Road Trip to Kelowna – Cedar Creek Estate Winery

On my second day in Kelowna, I decided to took a day off of all the wine and took a small detour. Originally I intended to go to the Elysium Garden – Nursery; however, I got “lost” and could not find it. After about 15 or so minutes, I gave up and decided to another place I had plans to go: Okanagan Lavender Herb Farm. Just like my entries related to the second day, it was a bit cloudy, hence the pictures were not the best.

There is a small note at the entrace of the garden saying:

“In the spring of 2007 we removed 2 rows of grapes to expand our display field, redevelop the tour and create a French Parterre Garden. The new our has two components; signs that tell about the qualities and cultivation of lavender and an extensive & specialized booklet created with the lavender enthusiast in mind.

“Our lavender grows in three separate fields and this is often a disappointement for visitors who would like to view the ‘big field’. The display field was expanded to create a more picturesque setting for our guests and to improve the design of our u-pick lavender.”

In a way, I was slightly disappointed, true; I was expecting something larger. Regardless, it was still enjoyable.

Vanilla – Lavender ice cream. It might look like your regular ice cream but it tasted great!.
