Lavender Labyrinth at Bees N Blooms in Santa Rosa

Upcoming May 2023 Bonus Events at Bees N Blooms: This weekend (May 6-7) is Sonoma County Farm Trails weekend so Bees N Blooms is open to visitors: feed the chickens, go on a farm tour, and kids can join a planting activity. May 6th is also World Labyrinth Day so be sure to walk the beautiful lavender labyrinth in celebration. Bees N Blooms is also open Mother’s Day weekend (May 13-14)!

Labyrinths by definition are meditative and contemplative meanders. What can add to the relaxation? The fragrant smell of organic lavender of course—1.5 acres of it! Bees N Blooms at the foot of Taylor Mountain in Santa Rosa invites you to experience its “ancient pathway of peace.” You'll have to mark your calendar to visit though: Bees N Blooms is only open on specific weekends (check their website for updates).

And while the Lavender Labyrinth and Flower Garden takes center stage at this working farm and garden, you can also visit their Farm Stand to purchase all things lavender—sachets, dried bundles, oils—along with other provisions like eggs, pottery, handcrafted earrings, and tea towels.

Gardeners will appreciate the selection of plants. Visit the nursery to get some lavender to plant at your own place. Stroll the labyrinth, visit the chickens and ducks, meander over a bridge to see the beautifully painted beehives (just be sure to heed the signs so you don’t walk in the line of the buzz!), and sit on a double swing bench overlooking the calming landscape.

You’ll have to mark your calendar for your visit—Bees N Blooms is only open on specific dates, including this weekend (May 6-7, 2023) and Mother’s Day weekend (May 13-14).

Bees N Blooms is located at 3883 Petaluma Hill Rd., Santa Rosa. Check their website for dates open and for updates and information. No dogs.
