Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
When you think about spring and summer in Indiana, are there any specific flowers that come to mind? Perhaps sunflowers, or maybe even lavender? Because if it’s lavender, boy, have I got good news for you: coming up soon (on June 17th) is the sixth annual Lavender Daze Festival held by an amazing local farm in the small town of Hope. When it comes to summer festivals in Indiana, all of them are pretty awesome, but this one is particularly fragrant and definitely worthy of a day out. So come out and check out Lavender Daze, an exquisite lavender festival in Indiana that’s sure to leave you smelling amazing and feeling great:
White Diamond Lavender Farms is a tour de force of lavender-related goodness.
It's a family-friendly event, and there will be activities even for the kids. Folks of all ages will fall in love with this spectacular summer event. Personally, I'm already excited for next year's and this one hasn't even happened yet.
Fun fact: the barn on the grounds was originally raised by Amish folks hoping to raise shrimp indoors.
It was dismantled and rebuilt fairly recently, but it's still two centuries old. I wonder what kind of stories this old barn could tell if it could speak. I'm fairly certain that, if it were capable of having a preference, it would likely be much happier with lavender than with shrimp farming.
The owners of this little slice of paradise are always upgrading and enhancing, so who knows what it'll look like for next year's festival!
