The Lavender U-Cut Experience begins this weekend! Come out to the farm June 28-30, July 5-7 and July 12-14 where you can cut your own bundle of lavender for only $5, enjoy the view of our incredible variety of flowers throughout the farm, walk California’s largest lavender labyrinth and participate in our Best Dressed Contest (details below)!
Tickets for the U-Cut Lavender Experience can be purchased here!
In addition to the excitement of cutting your own lavender bundle, you can participate in our Best-Dressed Contest by posting your fun, creative, and beautiful selfie or group photo on Instagram with #BNBBestDressed2024 before 4pm on the same day of your visit for a lovely prize from the farm stand!
Space is limited, so we recommend reserving your tickets for upcoming weekends soon!
For the Lavender U-Cut Experience, we provide directions, clippers and guidance on how to cut upon arrival. With the purchase of your ticket each bundle is an additional $5. The labyrinth and surrounding flowers are still looking radiant, so there are still lots of fun things to do on the farm!
Visit the Lavender Bloom Status page on our website for updates and recent pictures of the bloom!
A few safety notes:
1) If you have a life-threatening bee-sting allergy, you will not be allowed in the cutting field. We have a lovely shady place to hang out while your friends cut a bunch of lavender for you. Photos NEAR the field (but not IN it) are OK.
2) Children under 6 are not permitted in the cutting field. Good shady spots are available to sit with kids. Children must be supervised by an adult. There are also many fun things for kids to do on the farm that are not in the cutting field, including visiting the chickens, playing Bees N Blooms Bingo, checking out the Willow Dome in the Butterfly Garden, and more.
3) The terrain is a bit rough and there are bees in the lavender field, so we strongly recommend closed-toed shoes to keep the bees and pebbles out! These sunny days a hat or parasol and a water bottle are also great options for beating the heat while enjoying the day!
4) Dogs are not permitted in the cutting field. The staff will happily dog-sit for you while you cut.
It’s Time for the Bees N Blooms Best-Dressed Contest!
Let your inner fashionista shine! We are always so impressed by the bee-utiful and spiffy outfits our lovely guests visit the farm in during our Best-Dressed Contest days. On our remaining open farm days, our panel of judges will select a “Best-Dressed” winner to receive a special Bees N Blooms gift set!
Guidelines for the Best-Dressed Contest
To participate, you must attend our open-farm Lavender Daze on at least one of the following days: June 28-30, July 5-7 and July 12-14. Photos must be taken on the farm. Bee Creative! Our panel of judges will cast their votes each open-farm day according to three guidelines:
- Creativity: Although most visitors take pictures in the Grosso field or the Labyrinth, your photo-op can be anywhere on the farm.
- Originality: Surprise us with your stellar fashion skills!
- True to the Lavender/Floral Theme: Integrate your outfit with the colors and flowers in the landscape here at Bees N Blooms.
Winners will be notified by 4:30PM on the day you enter!
How to Enter the Best-Dressed Contest
Once you’ve snapped a photo of you or your group adorned in your jaw-dropping outfit(s), follow these steps to enter:
- Post a picture of you or your group in your beautiful attire to Instagram no later than 4 PM on the same day you dress up & attend Lavender Daze.
- Tag us in your post or reel on Instagram: @bees_n_blooms
- Include the hashtag: #BNBBestDressed2024
Safety
While we encourage posing with the gorgeous lavender and colorful flowers, please be mindful of the bees! Do not stand directly over the lavender plants. Bees can fly up dresses–oh no! Keep a sufficient distance from the lavender plants that you don’t crush the plants or inadvertently squash a bee. Our pollinator friends are currently doing an amazing job harvesting nectar from the abundance of blooms, so ‘bee’ careful!
Purchase your U-Cut Lavender Experience tickets here!
We can’t wait to enjoy this weekend with you! See you on the farm!
