After a Sunday lunch, the fall weather was just so nice that I detoured my family to enjoy a little lavender ice cream from the Prayer Lavender Garden. At first, my husband wasn’t interested. That was until he tasted the ice cream. Just passed the lavender aisles we took some pictures in the pumpkin patch area. It was a lovely visit. While there we saw some sheep, goats, furry chickens and a vocal turkey.
It is minutes from Rockwall, Texas where you will find a variety of attractions. From an outdoor play station for kids to climb, slide and swing. It is located at 247 Prayer Circle Rockwall, Texas 75032.
Spring and summer season the lavender garden is beautiful and well-maintained. Nice views of craftsman style structures and outdoor living spaces.

Explore
Sometimes going somewhere off the beaten path can be a surprise outing. I’m glad that my husband enjoys being adventurous. My kids enjoyed the attractions and I look forward to going again. Shop for great handcrafted body/bath aromatherapy gifts, blueberry lavender pie, bees wax and other natural infused products. And the lavender ice cream was definitely a nice treat to share. The owners, Kyle and Tera Griffin opened this space in June 2018. The Griffin’s were former house flippers and now they have designed a farm that utilizes their harvest of lavender, bees and goat cheese in the items they sell.
