THE SCOOPLavender has made quite a name for itself in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.

The fragrant purple plant draws tens of thousands of folks each year to Sequim for the largest lavender event in North America — a festival now in its fourteenth year.

The 2010 event runs Friday, July 16 through Sunday, July 18, and offers tours of six working farms, a vibrant street fair, community events and much more.

The Sequim-Dungeness Valley is cradled in the “rain shadow” of the Olympic

Mountains and has an ideal microclimate for growing lavender.With less than 20 inches of rain per year, the climate is similar to the Provence

region of France where lavender thrives.Because of Sequim’s unique conditions and a group of dedicated farmers, the

lavender of Sequim has received world-wide recognition for its superior quality and fragrance.

Farmers of the Sequim Lavender Growers Association have more than 200 years of

combined experience cultivating lavender, developing the best planting and growing

practices, and creating superb lavender products.

This year six lavender and herb farms will open their acreage to visitors during the Sequim Lavender Festival.

While roaming around the rows of lavender at each farm, festival-goers can experience the perfume and beauty of this captivating herb.

See dozens of varieties — with colors from sweet whites to crisp purples — while enjoying the sunshine, mountain views, scented breezes and open spaces of the stunning Sequim-Dungeness Valley.

Each farm is distinctive and reflects the vision of its owners. During the festival farmers will share their techniques for

cultivating, harvesting, drying and using the fragrant plant. U-pick lavender is offered at each farm, plus workshops,

craft artists, music and food.Learn more about each of the Farms on Tour on Pages 4

and 7. From there, flip through this section to see the schedule of events at each farm.

Tickets to the Farms on Tour are $15, and free for children 12 and younger.

The ticket includes a festival support button, admission to all the farms for all three days of the festival and unlim-ited use of the farm tour buses.

Tickets are sold at the information booths at the street fair, Sequim-Dungeness Chamber of Commerce Visitor Cen-ter and at the entrance of each farm.

Advanced tickets are available at www.lavenderfestival.com.

The Street Fair in downtown Sequim is “lavender central,” a festival in itself.

Learn more about the Street Fair on 1.

Fun on the Field features children’s activities and local non-profit organizations. The area has a community stage, cov-ered seating, horse rides, activities for all ages, demonstra-tions by local groups and much more.

Learn more about Fun on the Field on Page 16.

Lavender is such an amazing plant, but not everyone knows that it is also a culinary herb.

On Sunday, the festival culinary program features cooking demonstrations by local chefs at each of the Farms on Tour.

The festival closes with the annual Celebrate Lavender Dinner on Sunday night at the John Wayne Marina.

Learn more about the dinner on Page 18 and the culinary program on Page 19.

sJardin du SoLeiL LavenderPam and Randy Nicholson own Jardin du Soleil (meaning garden of the sun). Known for the bucolic grounds sculpted into walking paths, seating areas and outdoor garden rooms, Jardin du Soleil is located on some of Sequim’s prime dairy land. The Nicholsons have planted more than 10,000 lavender plants since purchasing the prop-erty in 1998. At this year’s festival, Jeani Schwenk with the School of Wind will teach chil-dren how to make and fly kites. Rachel Faubion, a fiber artist, will give demonstrations for spinning quality fibers into yarns. As in previous years, visitors will receive free samples of the farm’s certified organic lavender essential oil during the essential oil demonstrations. Look for new lavender products and as always, lavender ice cream. Turn to page 8 to see the farm’s schedule of events.

sPurPLe Haze Lavender: This farm boasts 40,000 plants and 50 varieties of lavender. According to owner Mike Reichner, the farm also manufactures about 100 products. Mike calls lavender farming “quite the adventure.” He planted his first lavender starts 15 years ago and continues to build on the successes of the farm, located on Bell Bottom Road. Two years ago Mike purchased 2.5 acres across from his original farm and now has much of it planted in lavender. Purple Haze includes demonstration gardens, an orchard, pond seat-ing areas, and outbuildings including a drying shed. During the festival, lavender ice cream cones and lavender margaritas are popular fare. Musician Geoffrey Castle returns to Purple Haze this year, but with a twist: on Saturday he will bring his band to do a special Hendrix tribute. Turn to page 15 to see the farm’s schedule of events.

t SunSHine Herb & Lavender Farm: Steve and Carmen Ragsdale, owners of Sunshine Farm, say they are busier than ever, but add, “this is what we like doing.” On their 10-acre farm just east of Sequim, the Ragsdales grow about 55 varieties of lavender that are for sale in their greenhouses and gift shop. All of the lavender grown on the farm is used in the products they make. Carmen has a passion for cooking with lavender and herbs and has self-published cookbooks showcasing the farm’s herbs and lavender in recipes she has been accumulating over the years. Her herbal products will be available for purchase during the festival. Beefy burgers, pulled-pork sandwiches, barbecue chicken — all infused with laven-der — as well as lavender salad dressings, will be available during the festival.

s oLymPic Lavender Farm: This is the fourteenth year Mary Borland-Liebsch, owner of Olympic Lavender Farm, has participated in the Sequim Lavender Festival — and her farm promises to be as busy and entertaining as ever. Olympic Lavender will offer product-making sessions, crafts and food. Of particular interest will be cooking demonstra-tions by Seattle author Kathy Gehrt, who recently published her new book, Discover Cook-ing with Lavender. Gehrt will present favorite recipes from the book at 12:30 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Olym-pic Lavender. Distilling demon-strations will continue through-out the three-day festival and, according to Borland-Liebsch, new vendors and music will be ready for visitors. As Olym-pic Lavender did last year, all proceeds from the U-pick field will go to the Olympic Medical Center Foundation. Turn to page 15 to see the farm’s schedule of events.

t LoST mounTain Lavender: This 3-acre farm up Taylor Cutoff Road is a showcase with more than 100 different varieties of lavender. “It’s the large variety of lavender we grow that makes us a specialty farm,” says owner Barbara Hanna, who, along with her husband Gary, mark their seventh year of lavender farming. When they are not planting, weeding or harvesting lavender, the Hannas are working in their on-site store, the Cottage Gift Shop, which is rumored to have been an old moonshiner’s shed and is now filled with handcrafted lavender products. The Hannas say getting ready for the festival is exciting. This year there will be visiting artisans, tours and demonstrations, live music and great food all weekend. “Our business continues to grow with new products and new ways to reach our customers,” Barbara says. Turn to page 9 to see the farm’s schedule of events.

scedarbrook Lavender & Herb Farm: Cedarbrook Lavender & Herb Farm has the distinction of being the oldest herb farm in Washington. It’s also where hundreds of varieties of lavender and herbs are grown. The aroma that fills the air often inspires many a gour-met chef to go on a culinary buying spree. The farm’s Garden Café makes exquisite use of the herbs and offers both indoor and garden-side seating on the patio. A stroll through the gardens and fields provides visitors with ideas for floral arrangements, food and many other lavender products. Owners Marcella and Gary Stachurski purchased Cedarbrook in 2005 and this will be the sixth year they are participating in the festival. The highlight at Cedar-brook will be dinner and a concert by harpist Bronn Journey on Friday evening. This is a reservation only event. Turn to page 8 to see the farm’s schedule of events and information on how to make a reservation.

vThere are more than 100 varieties of lavender grow-

ing in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.The drought-tolerant plant likes a good-draining soil

that keeps it from getting its feet wet (in other words, you should never over water it!).

Because it has so many uses, lavender has been referred to as “the Swiss army knife” of herbs. Here are a few of the plant’s many uses:

a HeaLing Herb: Lavender has been used for centu-ries as a medicine to prevent infections in wounds, it soothes as a tea, and heals in creams and oils.

craFTy LiTTLe FLower: Lavender can be made into a wand, sachet or wreath for a fragrant, cherished keepsake.

cuLinary magic: For centuries great chefs have used lavender as an ingredient in cooking. The French use it in breads, desserts and marinades. It is also an integral ingre-dient of the classic French seasoning, Herbs de Provence, which is a blending of various Mediterranean herbs.

u-Pick FLower oF Fragrance: Folks love to get in the middle of the lavender fields, relax, take their time to smell the variety of lavender and pick their favorites.

She ultimately escapes to Greece, has an “adventure” with a local fisherman and decides to stay.

ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN to the Lavender Festi-val in recent years knows that the street fair can get crowded with all those folks foraging for their favorite vendor.

In order to offer families a place to relax amidst the hubbub, festival organizers teamed up with the Boys & Girls Club of the Olympic Peninsula to create a welcoming place for families that is also full of things for kids to do.

Fun on the Field gives festival-goers a chance to kick back and let the kids run around on the grass, says Stephen Rosales, one of the event’s organizers.

The hometown fair experience features nearly 20 nonprofit organizations offering hands-on activities and demonstrations for the entire family to enjoy.

There will be a stage featuring local musicians, dancers, a few teens from the Boys & Girls Club, and if you like — you. That’s right, there will be open mic time throughout the weekend, Stephen says.

First come first served to perform — just sign up at the Boys & Girls Club booth.

Families can spread out on the grass to enjoy summer at the Lavender Festival or find comfort in seating on the beau-tiful athletic field lawn with covered tables and chairs available.

There will be hot dogs, nachos, salmon jerky and soft drinks for the kids, crafts booths and much more.

“We want people to know there is an entire field of activities for the family,” says Scott Nagel, executive direc-tor of the festival.

“They can bring down the kids, and dad, there’s so much to do in addition to the lavender.”

Here’s what you’ll find at each nonprofit booth:AmERICAN RED CROSSFirst Aid demonstrations. Talk with an instructor and learn what you are prepared for. Preparedness color books available while supplies last.

in aDDitiOn tO its usual lavender farm tours and street fair, the festival will presents Music in the Park featuring Creme Tangerine, one of the Northwest’s top tribute bands.

Creme Tangerine, a five-member band based out of Kirkland, will perform a tribute to the Beatles for Sequim Lavender Festival crowds.

In 2009 the band made headlines with its re-enactment of the Beatle’s legendary London rooftop concert at Seattle’s Pike Place Market.

Fans packed the impromptu concert and were treated to a repertoire of the same songs the Beatles played at their rooftop concert 40 years earlier.

Over the years, Creme Tangerine has been a regular feature at many festivals and events throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Creme Tangerine takes the stage from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, July 17, at the James Center Outdoor Amphitheatre next to Carrie Blake Park.

Join Crème Tangerine and emcee Dan Kari from KONP Radio for a great evening of music.There will be open seating on the lawn, so bring blankets, chairs and favorite picnic

goodies. Food will be available for purchase from Jeremiah’s BBQ, including barbecue sand-wiches and wild salmon.

No alcoholic beverages are allowed. Public restrooms are available. Free festival shuttle buses will continue throughout the evening. The shuttle bus will go

from the street fair bus stop on Alder Street to QFC and then drop-off/pickup at the Sequim Water Reuse Demonstration next to the James Center.

Festival-goers don’t need to move their car to attend the concert, however, there is free parking available at the concert site.

Lavender by the bunch, bath and body products galore, live music and great international food abound at the festival’s street fair.

Located downtown on Fir Street between Sequim and Third avenues, the street fair serves as Lavender Central for the festival — and admission is free!

Agricultural products from the farmers of the North Olympic Peninsula, as well as laven-der ware, artwork and natural crafts will be offered by vendors from across the Northwest.

There will be more than 150 juried, arts-and-crafts booths with colorful, handcrafted products to delight the senses. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience the many varieties of lavender and appreciate the fine products of the artisans.

The street fair is open Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. There is plenty of parking at the QFC lot on the east side of town and at the JC Penny’s lot on the west side. Free shuttle buses run every 15 to 20 minutes from the parking lots to the street fair.

Buses heading out to the Farms on Tour depart from the street fair beginning at 9:30 a.m. each day of the festival, with the last buses leaving the farms as 6:30 p.m.

The Wine & Beer garden is located on Fir Street near the food court and main stage. Enjoy wines from boutique, family-owned wineries of the North Olympic Peninsula or

dine on a gourmet lunch and a glass of “hops” while listening to outstanding local musicians. Wines are provided by Olympic Peninsula Wineries and

the beer is sponsored by Deschutes Brewery, distributed locally by Olympic Distributing Co.

Wine will be available as tastings, by the glass or bottle. Beer is sold by the glass only. You must be 21 to enter the garden.Food at the Lavender Festival Street Fair is a special

experience featuring international cuisine, the freshest ingre-dients and tastes from around the world.

There’s something for everyone at the food court. Sweet, savory, decadent or healthy — they have what you crave! This is not your usual fair food, so come down for lunch or dinner. The food booths are open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Pets are welcome at the street fair, but are not allowed at the Farms on Tour. The Sequim Lavender Festival is proud to partner with The Friends of Gentle Paws, a local pet ther-apy organization, to offer pet sitting at the street fair.

This service is sponsored by Best Friend Nutrition, a local health food store for pets.

The pet sitting area is located on Alder Street at Second Avenue, adjacent to the bus tour stops. The service runs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

You can leave your dog in a safe, secure and shaded envi-ronment while you enjoy the festival and farms.

The dogs are housed in crates or exercise pens, with water, and an occasional treat (if allowed by the owner).

You can leave your pet for 30 minutes, an hour or all day long. There is no fee for this pet sitting service, but donations are greatly appreciated.

CAROL JANDA’S WATERCOLOR “Gathering the Lavender Bundles” was chosen as the official 2010 fes-tival artwork and is showcased on festival posters, T-shirts, advertising, and other promotional materials.

Carol is a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society.

She shows her work — which includes watercolor and oil paint-ings, stoneware pottery and oil monotypes — at three galleries in Port Angeles and Sequim.

Her artistic sensibilities began as a child growing up in Mount Savage, Maryland, a brickyard town with huge dome kilns, where she recalls crushing pieces of brick to make “paint” for the backs of leaves.

Carol taught elementary school in Montana, and then married a park service ranger which led to liv-ing in several scenic national parks including Yellowstone, Glacier Bay and Olympic National Park.

Her realistic watercolor land-scapes, seascapes, floral and abstract paintings coexist comfort-ably based on the elements and principles of design. Visit her web-site at www.claythingsplus.com.

YOU CAN ExPERIENCE the festival in a special way this year by joining a group of wonderful people — the vol-unteers who make the event possible.

If you haven’t been a part of the fes-tival in the past, you are in for a treat.

While the festival street fair is free, the farm tours are not. People must purchase a farm tour ticket in the form of a festival button to visit the farms — and yes, even to visit just one farm.

All volunteers, however, receive a festival button granting them access to each of the farms, a festival T-shirt noting that they are a volunteer, and an invitation to the festival wrap up picnic held in August.

You can fill out a volunteer applica-tion at www.lavenderfestival.com, e-mail [email protected] or phone 360-681-3024.

LAVENDER IS CULTIVATED all over the world. Bulgaria, France and the United States are known for producing the plant and its essential oil.

Essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from fresh flowers. The distillation process must be done at the peak of the day’s heat.

Lavender is considered the premier of all perfumes. One popular way to bring the fra-grance indoors is to tuck a dried lavender sachet into a closet or drawer — giving the house and your clothes a pleasing aroma.

Little sachets are inexpensive to make, or you can purchase them during the festival at the street fair.
