Four kinds of sample farm
| Style | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Straight rows | Three blocks of straight rows, one variety each, with grass walks between and a gazebo or pergola |
| Curved rows | Gently curved rows that follow the land, a pergola walk down the middle and benches |
| Labyrinth | A lavender labyrinth of rings around an open center, with an arbor and a bench, beside a field of rows and a gazebo |
| Patchwork | Four blocks of purple, pink, white and deep violet lavender, a U-pick cutting station, bee hives and a sunflower field |
Every sample farm has
- A drive in from the road, a welcome sign and picnic tables.
- A barn (a classic barn, a drying barn or a pole barn) and a farm stand or gift shop.
- Sometimes a farmhouse, and one in three has a pond.
- Trees along the back and one side.
- Varieties that suit the region: western farms favor lavandins like Grosso and Provence; others favor English lavenders like Munstead and Hidcote.
Good to know
- Nothing here claims to be the farm's real fields. The visit bar says “A typical farm for this region: an illustration, not this farm's real layout.”
- Farm owners can claim their listing from the trip planner. A sponsor farm shows its own tile-by-tile layout instead.
- Directory farms still have a welcome board, a Visitor Center with a passport stamp, and geocaches.
