Lavender Labyrinth
and Herb Garden
Covid-19 Update
Masks are required to enter the market. We also limit the number of people that can be in the market at once.
Lavender Update
We began replanting our labyrinth lavender last Spring after losing most of it in the 2019 Polar Vortex. The peak bloom time is mid to late July. It will take a couple of years before the labyrinth is back to its former splendor, but you are still welcome to walk it, to meditate, and to enjoy the healing space.
Herb Garden Update
Our Herb Garden, at the center of the Labyrinth, was spared by the Polar Vortex of 2019 and is absolutely thriving! Thank you all for your kind comments and beautiful pictures posted on Facebook and Instagram.

The labyrinth is an ancient spiral pattern which, when walked, is thought to be a spiritual journey, and symbolic of one's path in life. In recent years, labyrinths have undergone a dramatic revival as a meditation, relaxation, and spiritual tool. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth is a continuous circuit and you cannot get lost.
Our labyrinth was specifically created for this location, and is considered a contemporary design. Earth mounds and lavender plants define the path that spirals around a stone circle which is the center, or goal, of the labyrinth.
An arbor towers above the stone circle and surrounds an herb garden. Designed in accordance with the principles of sacred geometry, the 12-point vesica pattern defines 36 beds filled with dozens of herbal varieties. Have you ever smelled the breeze after it has brushed a bed of basil? We invite you to walk the paths, absorb the essences, and experience the serenity of this unique garden.
Note that the elements of time are represented in the design: One stone circle, 12 interlocking circles, 52 arbor posts, and seven cross pieces.
Lavender is a spectacular addition to our orchards of red fruit. In mid-July, an explosion of color and fragrance surrounds the stone circle as long rows of purple perfumed stems wave in the wind, inviting you to walk among them. A delightful herb, lavender has an array of benefits and purposes: Culinary, medicinal, and aromatic. We sell bulk lavender and many lavender products in our market.
There is no charge to walk the labyrinth and herb garden. It is available to all during business hours.
