Purple Day Every Day has a cool resource to explore! It's The Lavender Project. What is it exactly? Purchase some lavender (at your nearest gardening shop or online supplier) and plant some lavender then take a photo of yourself to help raise awareness. Sounds simple doesn't it? Well, if you have a "dead thumb", no worries. There are some amazing lavender farms to explore in person or online. Here are a few:
The Musée de la Lavande in Coustellet, France
Their website hosts a bushel of helpful resources for growing lavender. You can learn plenty about their products, book tickets to tour the museum, and check out the gift shop! They also have an ice cream social during the summer to highlight the wonderful flavor of lavender. Yummy! If you ever get a chance to visit France, add The Musée de la Lavande to your bucket list.
