Lavender Day

All things lavender will be celebrated on June 3, 2023 from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at the historic Murer House and Gardens, 1125 Joe Murer Court in Folsom. This colorful, fragrant and free event, sponsored by Green Acres Nursery, features their representative Greg Gayton and Christine Eschen of Tres Jolie Lavender Farm, Grass Valley, speaking about growing and using lavender.

Roger Steel, beekeeper and mentor will also be on hand with bees and honey samples, to answer all your questions about bees. Lavender plants, lemonade and gift items will be available to purchase, or better yet, win something lavender in the drawing. The Murer House and museum will be open for tours.

The Murer House and Gardens is across Folsom Boulevard near historic Sutter Street. The home was built by Guiseppe Murer of Italy who purchased the site in 1921 and constructed the home in 1925.  For more information, contact 916-413-9231.
