Went for their last weekend of the Lavender festival on Saturday!…read more We pre-purchased tickets online but they were also available at the farm for purchase. Parking was plentiful and easy to find. Overall, I would say it's pretty stroller friendly! We have a 1.5 year old who really loved running along the lavender fields. There was shaded seating, a few vendors (2 matcha/drink vendors near their flower shop, in the lavender fields - book vendor, honey, lavender gifts, vases/art, and a few other options to browse. We opted to do u-pick lavender and they had cute baskets with shears to borrow. Bundles were reasonably priced and you can also buy more lavender goods at their store. I bought some lavender tea which I also use for my baked goods as well! Such a wonderful experience!

Running from mid June to late August, the summer season at JB Family Growers Lavender Farm and…read moreFlower Market provides access to fields full of blooming lavender, providing picturesque opportunities with Mt Rainier in the background. The farm also throws a pumpkin festival with corn maze during pumpkin season (Sept through All Saints Day). My daughter and her husband hosted my wife, her mom, and me over the long Fourth of July weekend, and we all went to the lavender farm on a Saturday afternoon. Parking is free on sides of a private gravel road, with a clearly marked entrance. Admission is $9 per adult, being purchasable at the gate, using a credit card. Leashed dogs are welcomed, and there is a grassy area in center where one can find shaded places to sit or play games under a tent, or play cornhole nearby. There is also a nearby field with wildflowers in various times of bloom. It was a clear day, allowing us to see impressive Mt Rainier in the background. There is a small gift shop on the premises, where a nice lady explained much about the farm. We ended up buying both lavender infused essential oils and roll-ons. External info: There seems to be five different types of lavender: English (aka Common or True), French (aka Fringed), Portuguese (aka Spike), Spanish (aka Butterfly), and Lavandin (hybrid of English and Portuguese). Within each type, there are cultivars (specific variation bred for specific traits like color and scent). We saw areas of both the Royal Velvet and Melissa, both cultivars of English lavender. We also saw Grosso, a specific cultivar of Lavandin lavender, which is the most popular for commercial use, reading its the most common lavender at the farm.

We had the most wonderful time getting our tree. From entrance to exit, everyone was friendly and…read morehelpful. They also had complimentary hot cocoa and cider and cookies. We got our tree early this year since Thanksgiving falls late in the month. There was a steady stream of people but I can't speak to how busy it may be Thanksgiving weekend or after. The trees are gorgeous! So many options and different types to choose from. We got lucky and it didn't rain while we were there. They have saws and knee pads. We struggled to cut ours down and the helpers they have working there had to assist us. They were truly some of the sweetest young people. They were friendly and funny and incredibly helpful. They shake and wrap it for free and while they loaded it in the back of our vehicle, I'm pretty sure they would've helped tie it up if we wanted it on the top. Our tree is almost 8 feet tall and pretty big around. It's thick and honestly looks fake it's so perfect. It was $169 before tax. We tipped and I highly encourage you to do the same. Even if they just shake and wrap it, they are all working hard here. We will definitely be back. It's a convenient location from Seattle and a great experience!

Be careful to arrive well before they let the last cars in…read more My partner and I made an appointment to come, with our small children, to pick out a tree. We arrived well before closing and spent a long time looking. We noticed it was getting late and asked the cashier what time they close. They informed us that they let the last cars in at 4 and stay until everyone has a tree. It was well past 4 so we offered to go but were assured that we could stay and that they would wrap the tree and secure it to the roof of my truck, but they the shaker was turned off for the night. We made our final selection and reconfirmed with the cashier that it wasn't too late and that they would wrap and secure out tree. She gave us a saw and we paid and went to cut the tree down. In the time it took to cut the tree down the owners told all the staff to go home. We wheeled the tree to the wrapping station and were rudely told by the owners that they could not help us, that they were closed, and that we should leave. Both owners were extremely rude and confrontational. They made snide and sarcastic comments and the male owner tried to intimidate me into leaving. I told them if I couldn't transport the tree home after it was cut it was no good to me and the female owner began telling me a long story about previous customers who stayed late. As it was becoming heated I tried to explain that their employee had assured us, twice, that we would still be helped and that we offered to leave but were told to stay the owner said, "she is a stupid teenage girl, what do you expect." Eventually, after I demanded a refund (which they refused) they begrudgingly helped me wrap the tree. They then "helped" be jam the tree in the too small bed of my truck breaking several branches. They flatly refused to help me put the tree on my roof rack where it would fit. Even if the trees weren't extremely expensive, which they are, the customer service, intimidation, swearing, down talking of their own employees, and general discomfort of dealing with the owners makes this a place I would NOT recommend.

Aside from the service (more on that below), I find they usually have a decent stock of a variety of plants and they're usually pretty healthy, if a bit pricey compared to big box retailers. I do still prefer to shop here because it feels better than spending at a big box store but it also didn't take much research to discover Pacific Topsoils is owned by GRO-Well Brands, which is itself a conglomerate and by no means a local or small business, which I've seen some reviews assume. Service wise, it all depends on who you talk to and what mood they're in. Recently, I called to check on a product and the young man who answered brusquely said they didn't have it, so I caved and ordered it from Amazon. Then, I went to pick up some plants and discovered they had what I'd called about. I told the older gentleman who was ringing me up about the exchange and he somewhat rudely just said, "well, we always have that in stock," like I should've known, not the other employee who should've known. On the other hand, he did put out a call for someone to help me with the several bags of soil I ordered and a friendly young gal answered. She had clearly been working hard all morning but she wa so helpful and asked if there was anything else she could help me with before she left to assist another customer she noticed. If all the employees had her friendliness and pep, this place would get 5 stars, easy.

I'm a firm believer that picking a tree is an event and you should never be afraid to venture outside your own neighborhood to get one! I have 2 rules: the tree MUST be real and MUST be from Washington state. So over the river (err... 520 bridge) and through the woods we go to The Gardens at Cottage Creek in Woodinville. It's on the corner of Avondale and NE 132nd St. We were greeted by the owner who is a tall lovely man with a quick smile and baby blue eyes that you could swim in. His dog is pretty cute too! He took the time to show us many, many trees and laid the keepers down so we could narrow our choices. Once we cruised the lot we went back and made our selections. The nursery also had wreaths and a small Fall/Winter plant selection. I've been here in the Spring/Summer and it is full of gorgeous plants and flowers. The hanging baskets are some of the best I have ever seen. I have it on good authority that the owner knows his plants and stocks quality merchandise (read: won't die next week). Seriously go bend his ear and buy some stuff! Now I'm going to go smell the piney goodness of my tree, water it and gaze upon it lovingly. It's not weird or anything.
