Lavender lovers, pick your own at ACHS from July 6-17


The ACHS botanical garden is brimming with fresh lavender. Starting July 6, stop by the campus to pick your own fresh lavender, tour the garden, and learn a bit about the health properties and applications of lavender.

Lavender U-Pick runs July 6-17, Monday-Friday, 8:30 am-5:30 pm. But if you can't participate during business hours, ACHS also offers the Honor Code U-Pick. Participants are welcome to harvest their lavender after hours or on the weekend, but are asked to pay for their bunches via PayPal. Send payment to apothecary@achs.edu.

ACHS is located at 5940 SW Hood Ave. in John's Landing. For questions, call (503) 244-0726, visit www.achs.edu, or email achs@achs.edu.
