The Chocolate Flower Farm

This weekend we headed north to Anacortes and Whidbey Island for a little vacation. The weather was perfect! We stayed at a dog friendly B&B, Island Tyme, right outside of the little town of Langley on the southern end of Whidbey Island. Diva Dog seemed to enjoy her time on the beach! We also did some hiking.

While in Langley we visited the Chocolate Flower Farm which is a small specialty nursery. They specialize in dark flower/foliage plants including some that smell like chocolate. They also make chocolate candles and soap. Of course we couldn't leave without acquiring a few more plants for our garden!
