Seasonal road trips can make the best road trips.
Here in Ohio, we have an abundance of beautiful lavender farms. They're some of the most peaceful places in the state and they make excellent day trip destinations. Below, we've compiled a trip that leads to our seven favorite lavender farms in Ohio. Opening times vary for each farm, but many are open to the public in late May or early June.
The total trip clocks in at a little over 6 hours of drive time, with the destinations split pretty evenly between the southwest portion of the state and the northeast portion. We recommended splitting the trip into two days of exploration. To view a Google Map of the trip in a separate tab or window, click here.
