Lavender Harvest in a Field

The background features distant trees and clouds passing overhead across the farmland landscape. Lavender fields are farmed in long linear rows to allow efficient harvesting during the peak blooming period.

Botanical Facts About Farming Lavender

Essential oil glands reside on the tiny hairs covering lavender blossoms and leaves, releasing aroma when crushed or brushed against. Field lavender belongs to the mint family of plants, characterized by square-shaped stems and opposing leaf pairs. Farmers harvest lavender just as the lowest buds open on each spike, which ensures the highest concentration of fragrant oils.

Lavender Harvesting Questions and Answers

Why is lavender commonly grown in long, tidy rows on farms?

What are harvested lavender stems used for after gathering?
Harvested sprigs are hung upside down in dark, dry barns to dry for sachet bags, or distilled with steam to extract essential oils for soaps and perfumes.
