POTD: Lovely Lavender

Did you know that lavender is an increasingly popular crop in the Hill Country? With a climate that's similar to France's lavender-growing Provence region, the Hill Country is seeing an increasing number of lavender farms plus lavender trails with the chance to pick your own fragrant stalks. Look for special lavender events in Blanco and Fredericksburg with the chance to visit lavender farms, sample foods that include lavender, shop for lavender oils and more.
