Lavender farms are a sight to behold during blooming season.
For those who are making plans to visit Adelaide from August to January, Lyndoch Lavender Farm is a must-visit as that is the period of time when the lavender flowers flourish and this magical sea of purple never fails to attract tourists from all over the world.
Visitors get to admire the lovely lavender blooms while taking in the floral scent of fresh lavenders in the air—an unforgettable memory that will last a lifetime. Besides the farm, guests can also get their hands on lavender beauty products as well as linger on at a cafe nearby for afternoon tea.

For the uninitiated, there are actually many varieties of lavender flowers and here at Lyndoch Lavender Farm, you get to witness over 90 types on display!
Some you can expect there are English Lavenders, Ferny Leafed Lavenders and French Lavenders; these varieties differ in the shape of the leaves and their colours. Mother Nature is amazing, isn’t she!
