We are hopeful for a beautiful bloom this season! Typically, in our zone, lavender begins to wake up from winter the beginning of May and will be in bloom by mid-June to early July. Several varieties of our lavender will re-bloom throughout the summer, but the biggest bloom is in July. We also grow sunflowers. The sunflowers bloom in late September and into October.

The lavender is harvested a few weeks after the bloom begins - usually late June through early August.

How long does it take lavender to dry after harvest?

Lavender is a beautiful flower on a delicate stem, consequently drying time does not take long. After the lavender is harvested and bundled, drying takes about 3 weeks

This is an active farm with nature in full swing so there is a potential for a occurrence with wildlife. The lavender is such a relaxing plant that the bees and butterflies happily dance from flower to flower, and it is quite a beautiful site. They are so busy pollinating that they really do not seem to notice visitors. We do ask that our visitors respect the nature among our lavender fields and not swat or bat at our friendly flying pollinators.

Currently, we do not sell plants.

We do provide professional photography at the farm. Please contact us at hi@tedderscreek.com to discuss availability.
