MI Bucket List: Must Visit Lavender Festivals in Michigan
A Healthier Michigan
| 3 min read
Nothing compares to the sweet scent of fresh lavender.
Michigan is home to lavender farms and festivals throughout the state, which offer various activities such as U-Pick flowers, dazzling photo-ops, specialty food and drinks, and local artists or vendors.
In addition to its beauty, lavender has a soothing quality and health benefits, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The plant’s blossoms can be used fresh or dried, or lavender can be used as an extract or, more commonly, as an essential oil with aromatherapy benefits.
Lavender begins to bloom in Michigan in early-to-mid June and continues through mid-August. Visiting these vibrant, purple-lined fields are sure to create magical memories for the whole family.
