We have included the workshops and speakers who have been the most popular at the previous seven Lavender Fairs.  A light luncheon catered by Chef Dale Hawkins is included in the cost of registration, and is complimentary.  Most  workshops will be held twice so that all registrants can see all that is offered.  Booths will be limited to those of the speakers/presenters and a few long time Lavender Fair favorites.  Scroll down for booths.

Please be aware that these workshops and tours  take place on an historic homestead in Wild Wonderful West Virginia.  This is an outside environment event.  The grass paths and grounds are hilly and uneven.  The wood walks are on rustic paths, with steep climbs and sometimes participants stray off the paths.
