World Labyrinth Day at Mariquita Farm

Description

Join us for a guided walk in our eleven circuit Labyrinthine path through hedges of English, Spanish and French lavender. We’re celebrating World Labyrinth Day, where people around the globe will be participating in a walking meditation for World Peace that rolls through the time zones- “Walk as One at 1”. Sunny or cloudy, the day will be beautiful and the flower power of the thousands of lavender plants will be strong!

Our Day includes a walk with farm owners Starr Linden & Andy Griffin through the flower gardens that embrace the Lavender Labyrinth where we will stop to smell the roses. They’ve planted 200 Rose Bushes over the last three years, and many of them will be in full bloom. Learn about the different kinds of roses that exist, from the ancient China roses to the highly scented European heirlooms like the Gallicas, Bourbon, and Damascus roses. We have modern Hybrid Tea roses planted out, and hardy Rugosa roses, Wild roses, climbers, miniatures, and even the sprawling heirlooms that are climbing tall pines.

We will be learning how roses are harvested to provide fresh or dehydrated petals for lots of uses including artisan terroir skin care products. Local Esthetician, Danielle Kingsley owner of Wild Beauty Cosmetics in Soquel, will demonstrate a Gua She Stone and Oil Tutorial, showing us how she combines holistic and clinical modalities to address specific skin conditions. Her one-of-a-kind, Rose Gold oil is hand picked fresh from the farm and infused within hours, using an ancient method to extract the oils from the petals themselves. This oil is truely luxurious & great for everyone!
