What should I bring?
We recommend guests wear appropriate footwear (closed toe shoes) bring water, sunscreen, bug spray, hats, and sunglasses. Guests are also welcome to bring lawn chairs, and picnic blankets. We recommend not wearing any fragrances, or brightly colored florals. There will be honeybees and bumblebees in the blooming lavender, and if you look and smell like a flower they will find you irresistible.

Can I visit the lavender field on a different day than the festival?
Our farm is not open the the public. We do have U-Cut days during the summer months, and will announce those days on our website, and our Instagram page.

Is there parking available at the event?
We are a waterfront lavender farm with areas of the shoreline protected by the State of Maryland. Being on the water is very beautiful, but severely limits our parking options for large events. We hope you will overlook the parking inconvenience and enjoy the gorgeous view the farm offers. We have contracted two passenger trolleys from Patuxent Transportation to bring guests to and from our offsite parking lot at the Hollywood Fire Department located at 24801 MD-235, Hollywood, MD 20636. The trolley ride is approximately 10 minutes (5 miles) to and from the off-site parking.

We have some excellent options available for purchase at our beautiful outdoor cocktail lounge.

• Tobacco Barn Distillery Bourbon Bar
• Port of Leonardtown will be pouring award winning Maryland wines at the Wine Bar
• Bar Hill will be serving up some delicious gin cocktails at the Gin Bar.

Where can I find a schedule of events?
A schedule of events will be published on this website by the end of April, 2023.

Can I leave the event a re-gain entrance?
