One of the best things about an Oregon summer is the fragrant flowers you’ll find all over the state. With all the wildflowers along hiking trails, and fields of flowers growing at farms, your summer can be a wonderland of vibrant color and sweet scents.

From Madras to Hood River, and Medford to Newburg, you’ll find more than a dozen lavender farms in the Beaver State, and now’s the time to visit. Many of the farms offer guests the opportunity to pick their own lavender, and Wayward Winds is one of the largest. Take a look:
