Virginia Herb Festival






The First Annual Virginia Herb Festival was a great time of fun, food and fellowship at Sunflower Cottage in Middletown, Virginia.
We had the opportunity amongst many other vendors and crafters to share our products with visitors from around the region.
There were herb plants, herbal remedies, educational workshops, wine tasting, tea tasting, local artists, pick your own Lavender, gardens, livestock, crafts and of course garden tools!
We met many new friends and old friends as well.
It's difficult to describe in words the great fellowship we had with the other vendors.
Amongst others that we met at this event we'd like to thank:

Billie and Arnold Clifton, the owners of Sunflower Cottage - www.sunflowercottage.net , our hosts. Sunflower Cottage runs a nursery, holds workshops and has a lovely restaurant.
