The Roger’s Gardens June Shopping: Lavender Finds, Father’s Day Gems & 4th of July Decor

If you are looking for the perfect blend of sensory relaxation, garden inspiration, and seasonal shopping, heading to Roger’s Gardens in Corona del Mar during 5-21 June is an absolute must. The signature event of the season is the Lavender Market, running daily from 9 am – 6 pm. It completely transforms the grounds into a fragrant, purple-hued haven celebrating wellness, gardening, and home entertaining.

Why Visit the Lavender Market?

Unlike a traditional garden center sale, Lavender Market is designed as an immersive seasonal event. Visitors can browse blooming lavender varieties, sample lavender-inspired products, discover home décor, and explore exclusive bath, body, and culinary items centered around the calming fragrance of lavender.

It’s especially appealing for:

• Garden lovers;
• Home décor enthusiasts;
• Foodies interested in specialty products;
• Families looking for a relaxing day out;
• Anyone searching for unique seasonal gifts.

Here is everything you need to know about why you should visit, the top 7 things to see, and how to find unique gifts for Father’s Day and the Fourth of July right on the grounds.

7 Things to See & Do at the Market

1. The Living Lavender Plant Displays

One of the highlights is the extensive selection of lavender plants, showcasing different varieties, colors, growth habits, and landscaping ideas. You’ll find everything from deep purple English varieties sweet enough for culinary use (like baking and teas) to robust, heat-tolerant French and Fringed lavenders perfect for substantial garden borders.

Visitors can gather inspiration for creating their own lavender gardens.

2. Aromatic Fragrance Sampling

The event features lavender fragrance sampling, allowing guests to experience various scents and aromatherapy-inspired products. As you wander the pathways, stop by the dedicated fragrance stations. You can sample the pure essential oils, blends, and aromatic profiles of different lavender species to find the exact scent that promotes relaxation for your home.

3. Gourmet Lavender-Infused Foods

Head to the gourmet foods section to taste how versatile this herb is in the kitchen. The market features exclusive lavender-infused treats, specialized syrups, honeys, and artisanal pantry staples that elevate everyday summer entertaining.

4. Exclusive Bath & Body Collections

Pamper yourself or find a spa-quality gift. The market showcases premium lavender bath salts, rich body oils, luxurious French-milled soaps, and calming lotions designed for total rejuvenation.

If you enjoy gardening, landscaping, home décor, or simply walking through beautiful outdoor displays, plan on spending far more time here than you originally expected. The lavender may bring you in—but the rest of the nursery is what makes the visit memorable.
