3 ways to add a spring to your step this Easter
Spring always brings blooming flowers and April showers, but if you’re looking for something eggstra special this Easter season, check out these three Utah Valley hot spots for candy sweets, natural retreats and decorating sneak peaks.
Not your typical chocolate bunny
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, located in the Shops at Riverwoods in Provo, offers gourmet Easter baskets and the largest selection of chocolate bunnies in the area.
While they have traditional-sized chocolate bunnies, the store also carries two-pound specialty chocolate bunnies, and one select 25-pound chocolate bunny, which Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory donates to a local organization each year.
If you’re looking for variations on the typical Easter fare, the store also sells homemade chocolate-dipped fudge eggs, chocolate tulips, and a variety of other sweets and gummy candies.
Living lavender farms
Young Living Farms, located at 3700 North Highway 91 in Mona, exudes the sweet aroma of lavender.
The farm has been in operation for 10 years and produces and distills essential oils for Young Living Essential Oils.
The farm began hosting events to encourage members of the community to enjoy plants and nature.
To celebrate Easter, Young Living Farms will host its third annual Easter Festival on March 22 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Activities include pony rides, a small petting zoo, crafts, face painting, and wagon rides through the fields to enjoy Easter egg hunting.
All activities are weather permitting.
Subtle spring sunshine
If you’re looking for simple ways to give your home a spring fling, Evans Gatehouse sells spring décor to fit the occasion.
Treat yourself to a sweet treat with pastel retro soda fountain milkshake glasses, ice cream scoops, sprinkles and bowls or add some extra spice to your cooking with retro fabric aprons.
If you’re more the organic type, pick up some tulips or daffodils, or a spring wreath. Potted herbs and birds’ nests also add interest to your shelves or dining room table.
For entertaining, vintage floral table runners, Easter dishware and a beautiful bouquet of cherry blossoms can add the country touch to your home.
To make your mantle a focal point, add elegant floral arrangements, candles or apothecary jars in spring colors.
