FIELD OF DREAMS<br />
Having French heritage, I grew up equating the smell of lavender to the finer things in life. From<br />
a fancy cocktail to luxurious linens, from silky bath water to an aromatic blend, lavender has<br />
been strongly connected to relaxation and luxury. If you’re like me, sitting in the warm sunshine,<br />
enjoying a fresh glass of lavender lemonade while looking out over purple fields conjures up<br />
images of France. But I’m happy to say this tranquility beckons from Atascadero.<br />

Visit<br />
Harmony Lavender’s peak season for<br />
touring is in late <strong>Jun</strong>e through August,<br />
as the fields are painted in bright purple<br />
flowers. If traveling from San Luis<br />
Obispo, allow 25 minutes in drive time<br />
and estimate an hour and a half for the<br />
tour. The tour fee is $10 per person.<br />
Certainly come ready to peruse the<br />
unique gift shop.<br />
