Beautiful Lavender Farms in Texas

The blooming lavender farms in Texas are an amazing sight to see and a treat for all your senses! Typically blooming in late spring and summer, the lavender fields across the state offer the amazing scent of flowers in the air, gorgeous picnic areas, fun festivals, walking paths through the rows, lively festivals, and often U-pick opportunities.

While perhaps far from the rolling hills of Provence, France, there are endless options for choosing which farm to visit. I have listed some of my favorite options for Texas lavender fields near you by geographic location below.

At the time of publishing, January 2023, all information listed below is current. However, please double check the websites for admission hours before making a drive as climate often makes a change to farm calendars and events!
