Peace, Love and Lavender is hosting a festival Saturday at the lavender farm on the northwest side of Johnson Lake.

The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

We will start out at 9:30 a.m. with qigong and at 10 we will talk about dowsing, said owner Cyndi Smith. Qigong is similar to tai chi.

Qigong and tai chi are both ancient Chinese forms of exercise.

Smith said there is also a Chartres meditation labyrinth where people can take some time to enjoy the quiet, peacefulness.

People can cut their own bunch of lavender, which I think is a lot of fun, Smith said. The lavender is $5 per bundle. I also have lavender plants and we have a gift shop.

Smith said she has a psychic from Kearney scheduled at 10:30 a.m.

She will talk about our angels, Smith said. And at 11 oclock I have a gal coming who will talk about how we can support bees.

At 11:30 a.m., Smith will talk with kids about ladybugs and praying mantis and then they will go look for ladybugs.

The Johnson Lake EMS will have their ambulance here, Smith said. Im collecting $1 per person at the gate that will be donated to them.

Cyndi and her husband, Dan, open the farm from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays through Labor Day weekend.

The Peace, Love and Lavender Facebook page has directions to their location at 42636 Road 751, Elwood. For more information, the Smiths may be contacted at 308-324-7397.
