However, different varieties of lavender have different peak bloom times. Many French lavender plants reach their peak bloom from late July to late August, so if you visit later in the summer you’ll still be surrounded by plenty of purple.
In addition to strolling among the flowers, you can relax at a picnic table and nibble on a refreshing lavender ice cream.
The plants are meant to be admired and photographed, so picking lavender is not permitted.
However, Kelso Lavender has an on-site shop filled with bouquets of fresh and dried lavender for sale and many other lavender skin care and home care products.
You’ll definitely want to pose for photos on the purple Muskoka chair in the middle of the court.
So gather your friends and put on your best summer outfits for this easy afternoon excursion.
