In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

The 5th annual Lavender Festival and Farm Tour is taking place this Friday through Sunday at Growing Miracles Lavender Garden northwest of Roseburg.

Keri Roid operates the property on Lower Garden Valley Road. Roid said she had a dream about this venture many years ago, but it took a lot of changes in her life before it became a reality after moving back to Roseburg. Roid’s garden includes over 4,000 lavender plants.

The 5th annual event will feature over 55 artisan and crafts booths, u-pick lavender, essential oil distillation, morning yoga in the lavender, food, music and more. Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The event will close at 4:00 p.m. Sunday.
