Lilac Farm, WA state

 


The Pacific Northwest has great weather for growing flowers. I've been to tulip farms, rhododendren and rose gardens and also one stately garden that is strictly lilacs. It's not a large area. maybe several acres. It was cultivated soley by one woman who loved lilacs. At one point a flood destroyed almost all the bushes but she lovingly re-planted what she could salvage to restore her life's work. It was so beautiful with all the lilacs blooming at the same time,which was April, and the fragrance was uplifting. A nice experience.
