We were able to accomplish the impossible here at our farm and our miracle lavender gardens. Our Cottage Shop takes our lavender from the fields and create over 100 different lavender products - from our farm to you. Natural, pure, and highest quality possible.
You-Pick Season is now closed!
We were able to extend our lavender bloom and you pick season the year for the whole month of June 2022 due to the different varieties of Lavandin Lavender we grow here at the farm allowing so many people to make great memories cutting their own fresh lavenders. We think the hot dry weather was also an advantage of all the blooms this year. We want to thank you all that came out to the farm. We feel very blessed to have so many visitors! Thank you so much!!
We also have Sunflowers!
Summertime is a great time to visit the farm with our many other types of flowers - from bright and cheerful sunflowers, big fancy Dahlias, Zinnias, and other flowers! Great spot for photos and take in a little break in the country among the flowers. The lavender blooms may be gone, but oh La La the flowers that continue to bloom are amazing!
Lavender bloom season is only a few short weeks the first half of June here. Then we spend the rest of the month harvesting those amazingly scented lavender bloom by hand to hang and dry and later sell as bundles or distill to make our pure lavender essential oil and lavender hydrosol. Both filled with health benefits. We then use our oil to make our high quality products. So check out our lavender cottage shop or check out our Dahlias garden and sunflowers or our other flowers for the rest of summer into autumn. Shop is open from March through till mid December or online all the time.
Shop ProductsOur Flower Gardens are amazing from Summer until mid Autumn with all varieties of flowers from Alliums to Zinnas, Sunflowers and our 1200 Dahlias. On weekends we sale cut bouquets, if we get time. With the farm filled with flowers and lavender how could you not resist a visit to our farm? Bring your cameras for amazing keepsake memories. I heard there are lots of butterflies and hummingbirds here in summer!
Amateur photographers are welcome during open hours of the shop at no extra charge, other than admission, just tag us on your social media please. During Lavender blooms in June we do charge professional photographers a fee 25.00 an hour during open shop hours.

After shop hour bookings: Photographers must have a copy of their liability insurance and show proof before arriving sent to our email with subject of you company’s name and insurance proof. There is also a higher price for booking after shop hours, since we must be on property during your sessions. Please do not email me with reserving time this year, since I will not be able to answer with all the work we have to do at the farm from late spring through summer.
This is the end of our lavender plant sale for 2022. If you are thinking about adding a few lavender plants before the dead heat of summer is upon us - now is the time to stop in and get your lavender plants before they are gone. We have two varieties of the Lavandin Intermedia Hybrids with their highly scented flowers - Impress Purple and Riverina Thomas.
When does lavender bloom here? With 543 different varieites of lavender we can expect lavender of one variety or all from May - September, with full bloom in June. The sunflowers we begin germination in winter for our first bloom in June to coincide with the lavender and a second bloom in autumn.

Let's not forget our other flowers, such as zinnias, roses, hollyhocks, foxgloves, snapdragons, etc... begin to bloom the end of June through till autumn.

Why lavender and why try so hard to get lavender to grow in Georgia?
Lavender has many health benefits and more than just relaxing properties. For way too many years Georgia residents have not known about lavender and all the health benefits lavender provide for us. It is one herb that we can actually use all parts of the plant. Intermedias are for bath and beauty uses and Angustifolias (English culinary) is sweet and adds a bit of culinary complexity to any dessert or drink. Lavender is an antiseptic, anti-fungal, and probiotic.
In 2014 we started planting our first crop of just 500 lavender and 9 different varieties. This was a totally new adventure, since NO One had grown lavender in Georgia past year two without crop failure. But we had small parcel of pasture at our home and decided this beautiful herb was worth trying. Today we grow about 4,000 lavender plants of 19 different varieties, some plants 8 years of age. We have learned a lot through in-depth research, lavender conferences, visiting lavender farms in person and speaking with lavender growers from Arizona, South Carolina, North Carolina, Sequim Washington and also abroad to the Provence area of France and Ireland. UGA visits our farm yearly to check with us to see how we are growing lavender in this harsh environment and being successful.
More InformationWhen purchasing lavender products from a large chain store or large online e-commerce site you don't know how long the lavender or products have set in warehouse.
All of our lavender products are made with current year lavender and in small quantities to keep quality high and fresh. This way lavender smells it best and produces the best quality. We make over hundred products from our lavender. What could be simpiler? We distill our lavender for pure lavender essential oil. All products are made in small batches so quality and freshness is a must. Farm Shop, Online, and Curbside.
