点评:We visited Fragrant Isle Lavender Farm on Washington Island during the last week of August, and most of the lavender had already bloomed and been harvested. Darn! We missed those gorgeous purple fields and that wonderful lavender fragrance. But we still enjoyed wandering through the peaceful grounds, admiring the remaining wildflowers, and taking some lovely photos.
Now, here's my suggestion: Start with a glass of lavender wine! 🍷 It's delicious, and you can sip while browsing the charming gift shop. And oh my goodness, what a gift shop! I did some serious shopping damage. 😂 Between the lavender pillow spray, skincare products, heavenly scented countertop cleaner, lavender cherry jam, and dark chocolate lavender fudge, I found plenty of goodies for myself and gifts for family and friends. I've since used many of the products, and they're wonderful! My husband finally suggested I had purchased enough. Ha! We'll agree to disagree on that one!
There's also a lovely covered patio where you can relax with a glass of wine, enjoy lunch, or indulge in one of their sweet treats. We weren't hungry, so we skipped the food this time.
Even without the lavender in full bloom, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The grounds are peaceful, the shop is delightful, and it's just a lovely place to slow down and enjoy a little time on Washington Island. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be when those lavender fields are blooming! 💜
翻译:八月的最后一周,我们游览了位于华盛顿岛的香岛薰衣草农场。那时大部分薰衣草都已经开花并被采摘完毕了。真遗憾!我们没能亲眼目睹那一片片美丽的紫色花海,也没能闻到那迷人的薰衣草香气。不过,我们依然享受在宁静的农场中漫步、欣赏残留的野花,还拍下了许多漂亮的照片。
现在,给大家一个小建议:先来一杯薰衣草葡萄酒吧!🍷 味道棒极了。你可以一边品饮,一边浏览这家迷人的礼品店。天哪,这真是一家超棒的礼品店啊!我可疯狂采购了一番呢😂 从薰衣草香枕喷雾、护肤品、香气宜人的台面清洁剂,到薰衣草樱桃果酱以及黑巧克力薰衣草软糖,我给自己挑了不少心仪之物,也买下了许多适合送给家人和朋友的礼物。后来我用了很多这些产品,真的非常棒!最后,我丈夫终于忍不住说:“你买得够多了吧。”哈哈!在这个问题上,我们就各持己见吧!
那里还有一个很棒的带顶棚的露台,你可以一边品着葡萄酒,一边享用午餐或品尝他们提供的甜点。我们这次并不饿,所以就没吃东西。
即便薰衣草尚未完全盛开,我们依然尽情享受了这次访问。整个庭院宁静宜人,商店也很有趣,真是个适合放慢脚步、在华盛顿岛上享受悠闲时光的好地方。我只能想象,当那些薰衣草田盛开时该有多美啊!💜
