Afternoon tea anyone?.

Let's meet at the Ermatinger-Clergue National Historic Site, where the Lilac and Lavender Festival continues Sunday with four sittings for tea.

The event features several heritage recipes incorporating lilac and lavender.

There will be four sittings for the Victorian tea at 12:45, 1:30, 2:15 and 3 p.m. and there is still some room for walk-ins.

Yesterday, the festival featured workshops all day starting with Tammy from Country Way sharing information about the importance and uses of lavender and the health benefits of herbal teas.

A Victorian lavender lunch was served in the summer kitchen.

Recipes like lavender jelly and lilac honey, which Michelle McMillan, a historic interpreter summer student at the site, is holding.

Cindy Ellen Crawford spent the afternoon sharing her wealth of knowledge about local plants, their uses and medicinal gardens.

The first batch of lilac honey made on site at Ermatinger-Clergue National Historic Site is now also available for sale in the gift shop, as well as a variety of other products and crafts.
