Classic ”Blue Note Era” jazz quintet! They offer fresh compositions, echoing the admired hard bop and post-bop eras of the 50s, 60s and 70’s but infused with a modern, dynamic spark. They deliver swinging, spirited arrangements of the classics from those eras.

You don’t want to miss out on this annual, iconic lavender bloom season here at Bees N Blooms. If you can’t make it this weekend, we will be open most weekend days through July 10. Lavender Daze is our yearly show-stopper, all thanks to the 8 different varieties of organic lavender plants we have lining the pathway of the largest labyrinth in California and adjacent fields. Grab your tickets today before they sell out. We look forward to seeing you at the farm and sharing all of the beauty and magic of Bees N Blooms with you, your family and friends.

  1. Hi! Are well-behaved small dogs welcome??

    • Hi Bella,
      Well-behaved dogs are welcome on open-farm days. If you do bring a dog, we ask that you keep them on leash at all times—we have cats, chickens, geese, and ducks that may be out and about, and we want them to stay safe. Please bring supplies to clean up after your dog. And please do not allow your pet to use the turf areas in the Labyrinth or North Pavilion as a bathroom. People love to sit on the grass and we want to keep it free of waste. To prevent food crop contamination, dogs are not permitted in the vegetable garden at all. Dogs are also not permitted in the U-Cut field. Our staff will happily dog-sit for you while you cut.

      Best,

      Susan

  2. Sounds like fun! Is U-Pick lavender included?

    • Hi Sharon,
      The lavender field will be ready for cutting in late June, so the weekends of June 25-26, July 2-3, and July 9-10 will be the ones to target for the U-Cut Lavender Experience. It’s $5 per bunch of lavender cut. Check out the Special Notes about Lavender U-Cut in the FAQs about Lavender Daze. We hope to see you on the farm!

      Best,

      Susan
