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.

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
