In the desert we’re accustomed to prickly plants and crooked cacti, but less than four hours from Phoenix you’ll also find a billowing sea of gray, green, and purple. At Red Rock Ranch and Farms in Concho, it’s lavender fields forever, with more than 45,000 lavender plants of a dozen different varieties.
On Thursday, June 20, the annual Arizona Lavender Festival kicks off and runs through Sunday, June 30. Attendees can catch field tours, cooking demonstrations, and more. Cut your own bundle of lavender and plan to catch one of the special events, including such highlights as lavender wreath- and candle-making lessons.
Admission costs $5 per person, and ticket packages including entrance and lunch are available to pre-order for $20 each. Red Rock Ranch and Farms, HC 65 Box 35201, is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information call 928-337-2289 or visit www.redrockfarms.com.
Thursdays-Sundays, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Starts: June 20. Continues through June 30, 2013
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
