Description

Harvest your own bouquet from a field full of Lavender flowers overlooking beautiful Buttermilk Channel . How many people can say they harvested their own bouquet of fresh lavender flowers- directly from the field? You will receive a brief hands- on harvesting tutorial and then cut your own take home bouquet from the sunny field overlooking Buttermilk Channel. A one of a kind experience. Suitable for ages 12 and up. Younger children may accompany you into the field, but cannot use harvesting tools. The “NYC Lavender Festival” offers 2 days of tours, maker workshops, harvesting opportunities and fun activities, all connected by “The Lavender Field” on Governors Island, a healing space for community, bees and earth, and the only lavender field in all 5 boroughs of New York. Come by the lavender field at the South Battery on Governors Island and dive into the heady fragrance of lavender, see the field in bloom, and take advantage of spectacular photo opportunities. Sign up on Eventbrite for various workshops and tours.
