Purple Lavender In the Garden,Sequim WA
Lavandula (common name lavender) is a genus of 39 known species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to the Old World and is found from Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, Europe across to northern and eastern Africa, the Mediterranean, southwest Asia to southeast India. Many members of the genus are cultivated extensively in temperate climates as ornamental plants for garden and landscape use, for use as culinary herbs, and also commercially for the extraction of essential oils. The most widely cultivated species, Lavandula angustifolia, is often referred to as lavender, and there is a colour named for the shade of the flowers of this species. The Sequim Lavender Festival will celebrate its 20th year in the heart of Sequim and in the surrounding Dungeness Valley, during the July 15-17, 2016 weekend. Solely produced and managed by the member-growers of the Sequim Lavender Growers Association™, the Sequim Lavender Festival® will expand its production to include activities and regional attractions for the modern family and visitors of all ages.
