Lavender is in full bloom right now, with an impressive display at the “Lavender Valley” farm in Hoquiam on Ocean Beach Road. The farm, run by Dale Dineen, has 1,000 lavender plants which are picked and sold by the bunch, packaged into pillows, made into soap or as dried buds. Dineen began cultivating her land for lavender in memory of her son Aaron, who was taken from the family in an industrial accident five years ago. Dineen said the farm has served as an outlet for healing and remembrance.
