Jardins de Soleil

Sequim is the largest lavender producing area in the United States. We stopped at the Jardins de Soleil to pick a few bunches of lavender and to visit their gift shop. Step out of the car and you are enveloped in the most delicious fragrance.

Everywhere you look is a photo. Here are just a few:

  2. So, so beautiful – even more so than in my memory of the place. Oh, I wish I had been there with you!

  3. Hi Maria! The Jardins de Soleil is just outside of Sequim, on the Dungeness-Sequim Road. Actually, there are several lavender farms, and the whole area smells heavenly. πŸ™‚ You need to dance your way out here.

    Little Diamond, oh how we wish you had been with us, too. Next time, insh’allah.

  7. Noracassandra – You are always welcome. When do you come for a visit to Kuwait?

    Grammy – Lavender does smell like consolation, doesn’t it? And, to me, it also smells CLEAN!
