🌸 Orangeville | A Colorful Summer Escape 🎨
✨ Art Walk + Provincial Park + Lavender Farm ✨ What started as a simple hike turned into a serendipitous day of lavender fields and friendly horses—here’s why you’ll love it too! 🍝 📍 Bluebird Cafe & Grill A cozy jazz-filled spot we stumbled upon—packed by noon with 2,000+ glowing reviews (4.8⭐)! Must-try: Handmade pasta + wild mushroom toast (fresh from the oven!). 🚶♀️ 📍 Orangeville Broadway Post-meal stroll paradise: Sculptures from reclaimed dead trees + a charming fountain. Saturday Farmers Market (local produce + vibes!). Fun fact: The town library was donated by steel magnate Carnegie! 🌲 📍 Mono Cliffs Provincial Park Moderate trail (allow 2-3 hours) with iconic cliff views. Pro tip: Book parking online + download offline maps (service is spotty!). 🏡 📍 Schoolhouse Country Gardens 7 mins from the park—a hidden antique gem with: Vintage signs, M&M collectibles, retro gardening tools. Run by a sweet grandma who curated every detail. 💜 📍 Avalon Lavender Farm 7 mins further: A dreamy sea of purple! Tickets: $20 (walk-in) → $17 (online). Don’t miss: Lavender ice cream 🍦 DIY flower cutting ✂️ Feeding horses by the fence 🐴 Golden hour (4-5 PM) = perfect lighting for photos (white outfits pop!). 🗺️ Route: Orangeville → Mono Cliffs → Antique Garden → Lavender Farm #TorontoWeekend #DayTrip #LavenderVibes #ExploreOntario
