Our experts will then be available at their booths to answer questions throughout the market time of the festival. Look for the sign "Expert" on the special booths. Bring questions to ask our experts who include chefs and food specialists, growers, landscape designers and horticulturists, certified herbalists, and makers of scents, soaps and lavender wands.
