Terre Bleu is a beautiful working farm to come and visit with or without bloom. When open we offer educational tours and information about how lavender is grown, maintained and harvested in Ontario and how we make our many specialtly products from this fragrant plant. We have nine different varieties of lavender in our fields, all of which bloom at different times during the summer season, which creates colour in the fields from June through to August. The Angustifolia or “English” varieties begin blooming late June, while Grosso and Phenomenal or “French Lavenders” begins to show colour in late July. July and August are typically the best times to see blooming, although this will vary depending on temperatures and weather patterns for the summer season. Also it is important to note that lavender is typically grown in far more temperate climates than Ontario. Unforunately for us our plants are frequently damaged or even killed during our cold harsh winters which can severely reduce their size and extent of actual blooming.
