Lavender lovers, this one’s for you. BC is full of gorgeous lavender farms, and it’s currently peak wildflower season – which means there’s never been a better time to roam a lavender field and breathe in that aromatic air. Thankfully for Vancouverites, there are plenty of farms in Metro Van and beyond that are super accessible. Let’s dive right in!

Harrison Lavender

Harrison Lavender is a boutique lavender farm set near the beautiful Harrison Lake, dedicated to growing lavender and making it into various non-toxic sprays, honey, skin salves, and other home & wellness products. Folks can visit the farm from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 am and 5 pm.

Where: 3777 Wildwood Drive, Agassiz, BC

Tuscan Farm Gardens

After perusing through the winding lavender fields at Tuscan Farm Gardens, visitors can find a relaxing spot on their patio to take in the sights (and smells). This is a great option for folks planning a day trip to Abbottsford!

Where: 6834 Mount Lehman Road, Abbottsford
Cost: $13.50 for GA on weekends

Sacred Mountain Lavender 

Open 7 days a week in July and August, Sacred Mountain is a great destination for self-guided tours of the lavender fields (and photo-ops…) as well as all your lavender shopping needs. You can even find recipes for lavender lemon cheesecake, BBQ + lavender-marinated chicken kebabs, and more on their recipe page.

You can find ferry + driving directions here.

Where: 401 Musgrave Road, Salt Spring Island, BC

Damali Lavender & Winery

This farm doubles as a winery (with free wine tastings for groups less than 12!) – so we know what our weekend plans are shaping up to be. Drop by for a jaunt through the lavender labyrinth, sample some vino, and maybe even meet some wild bunnies while you’re there! Damali also offers U-Pick lavender and lavender plants available for purchase.

Where: 3500 Telegraph Road, Cobble Hill
Cost: Free admission!

VanDusen Botanical Gardens
