It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s nine must-see lavender fields around the world.
In Tasmania, at Bridestowe Lavender Estate, walk among rows of French lavender. Open year-round, the estate is also a working farm. Another popular spot to see lavender is Port Arthur Lavender Farm, an 18-acre space of lavender, lakes and rainforest. © Ian Woolcock | Dreamstime.com
Considered the best-known flower field at Farm Tomita in Furano, Japan, come springtime, this field erupts into hues of purple with that iconic lavender scent accompanying the colors.

Head to Palisade, Colorado, to take in this beautiful plant. At both Sprigs & Sprouts Lavender Farm and Sage Creations Farm, visitors can walk through gardens of lavender. At Sprigs & Sprouts Lavender Farm, visitors can also purchase lavender products at the on-site shop. © Arinahabich08 | Dreamstime.com

In Hungary, be sure to visit the lavender fields in Tihany. These fields are Hungary’s first large industrial lavender plantation, dating back to the mid-1920s. Every year, Tihany hosts a “pick it yourself” campaign as part of the Lavender Festival. © Fesus Robert | Dreamstime.com

One of the best places to find lavender in Provence, France, plateau de Valensole sees rows of purple as far as the eye can see. Perhaps one of the most iconic fields to see lavender, these fields host a lavender festival around the third Sunday of July. © Francoisroux | Dreamstime.com
Venture to Purple Haze Farm in Sequim, Washington, to enjoy a day of lavender picking, a picnic surrounded by the flowers and time in the gift shop. This farm covers 7 acres and is home to bees and chickens, as well as a summer ice cream and beverage stand. U-pick lavender is available mid-June through August. © Maria Luisa Lopez Estivill | Dreamstime.com
Over in Burgas, Bulgaria, you’ll find lavender farms in bloom every summer. While not as neat as the rows of lavender you might see in fields in France, these wilder fields embody a more natural and freer take on the popular plant. At the end of every June, head to Karlovo to celebrate lavender at the annual lavender festival. © Flavia D | Dreamstime.com
