WE'RE BACK! Watercolor at Smiley Lavender Farm is Returning! 💜🎨

​Patti are super excited to partner up for our second year to bring you the ultimate creative escape at farm🌾✨

​Last year’s classes completely sold out, and after hearing how much you loved it, we knew we had to bring the magic back—with an exciting twist for 2026!

​This year, we are offering TWO totally different vibes and TWO different styles of watercolor painting:

​🌅 The Morning Class: Fresh, crisp air, birds chirping, and bright, energetic morning light. Perfect for a peaceful, rejuvenating start to your day.

🌌 The Evening Class: Golden hour, a relaxing breeze, and cozy twilight vibes. Perfect for winding down and letting your creativity flow.

​⚠️ STRICTLY LIMITED SPACE: To ensure every single guest gets a meaningful, intimate, and hands-on experience, we cap each class at 30 people max. Last year we had to turn people away, so do not wait!

​👉 How to register: Head over to the event page and click on the registration link that's pinned to the top, or search "Smiley Lavender Farm" on Google to secure your spot today!

​Let’s make some beautiful memories together.

We had a great time at our recent Dish Up Prineville event. We appreciate our incredible presenters from Stroke Awareness Oregon - SAO and St. Charles Health System who not only served up a deliciously healthy feast, but shared how the food choices improve our vascular system and nourish our bodies.

To top it off, they gave us invaluable information to protect ourselves and our loved ones as we learned to identify the initial signs of a stroke and act quickly to improve outcomes.
