There’s nothing quite as soothing as the scent of fresh lavender. Both herby and fragrant, this flower can grow abundantly in Virginia. If you’re someone who loves seeing rows upon rows of lavender, we’ve devised a road trip that will take you to some of the most picturesque and fragrant fields in the state. From botanical gardens to u-pick fields, these destinations are the perfect backdrop to a flower-fueled adventure through the Old Dominion.
Our first destination of the day is Booming Hill Lavender Farm, located in Purcellville. What this farm may lack in size, it more than makes up for in vibrancy. Walking through the carefully cultivated gardens is an artistic and nearly therapeutic experience. And don't forget to stop by the shop after for a scoop of delicious lavender ice cream!
Located just north of Catlett, Virginia, Seven Oaks Lavender Farm is a family-run operation that has specialized in pick-your-own lavender since 2005. Visit today and you'll learn all about the process of growing lavender and can even take some home with you if your heart desires.
Tucked away in the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg, White Oak Lavender Farm is a must-visit. Walking around this impressive farm, you'll be surrounded by the scent of fresh lavender. Plus, the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background is positively enchanting. Be sure to allow plenty of time at this stop; there's even a winery on-site!
The Lavender Fields at Tantivy Farm is another breathtaking destination in the Virginia mountains. Whether you're stopping to inhale the fresh, herby scent of the flowers or you decide to take home a plant to start at home, you'll be grateful you checked out this family-run destination.
Last, but certainly not least, Evergreen Lavender Farm features gardens for strolling and a u-pick section. After enjoying the great outdoors, head into the shop and browse the incredible selection of soaps, lotions, and more. What a beautiful end to a lavender-filled day!
