Each summer, the 6 farms of the Southern Oregon Lavender Trail open their gates for two memorable weekends celebrating lavender in all its forms!

During the festivals you will find lavender plants, hand-crafted lavender goods, and u-pick lavender at most of the destinations. You can also expect to find extra events and activities at many of the locations, including food and beverage vendors, wine, cider, live music, kid-friendly activities, lavender-related demonstrations and classes, other vendor booths, and more!

Each farm offers its own welcoming experience, with thoughtfully planned activities, so be sure to visit them all! Find a convenient map on our website to help you plan your trip.

These festivals have become a beloved part of Southern Oregon’s seasonal rhythm. We invite you to slow down, explore at your own pace, and enjoy the simple beauty of lavender in bloom—an experience meant to be savored and remembered.

Join Lori Grable for a Beginning Yoga class! This class is open to anyone who is interested in trying out yoga for the first time or wants a refresher yoga class after a layoff. Come with comfortable clothes, a yoga mat and water bottle. New students can arrive at 10:15.

Instructor Bio: Lori began her yoga journey in 2000 as a student at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. She was drawn to the practice because it helped her to reconnect with her most authentic self while making her stronger and more open, physically and mentally. Her passion for yoga grew stronger as she traveled around the United States during the summer of 2003, practicing at many studios along the way. After settling in Pittsburgh, PA, she completed her teacher training and began teaching in 2006.

Today, Lori is an E-RYT 500 and teaches Vinyasa-based classes. She is influenced by the philosophy and alignment principles of Anusara Yoga. As a triathlete, Lori has an interest in yoga for athletes and has taught many workshops on the topic. She has a passion for the outdoors and has taught yoga in parks, vineyards, and backyards. Lori appreciates the healing and restorative qualities of yoga and has also worked with students who are recovering from illness, rehabilitating injuries, pregnant, or elderly.
