The fields of purple are alive.

Summer has truly arrived at Akaroa Lavender, and the proof is all around us as the purples deepen, intensify, and work their quiet magic across the fields.

Our Pacific Blue is darkening by the day, now in full bloom and offering a fragrance that can only be described as pure heaven.

Grosso, its slow-and-steady cousin, is taking its time. Right now, its long buds carry a soft, pale purple, but with each warm day they deepen, layer by layer, into richer tones.

We have refreshed our guided tours for the season and would love to welcome you. Discover what’s new at 👉 www.akaroalavender/experiences

A gentle reminder that all visits are by pre-booking only—please no surprise arrivals. If you are hoping to visit outside our advertised times, get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Spring always feels magical, but there’s something extra special about seeing our lavender waking up and beginning its journey towards that dreamy purple glow.

Save the date: Our fields open for public viewing on November 17th! By then, our Pacific Blue and Grosso plants will be showing off in different stages of bloom.

Kia ora koutou

Approaching our lavender fields at this time of year is always exciting. The end of winter is in sight so the first very faint tinges of green shoots are starting to appear on our Grosso and Pacific Blue.

The end of July marks the beginning of lavender season for us. The weeds start to grow with the increase in temperatures so with the help of our international team of woofers it is all hands (and knees) on deck as we start hand weeding.

Need to kick some winter blues> Check out Gordon Lightfoots song that reminds us all of lazy and purple filled summer days!

We anticipate re-opening the lavender farm for seasonal tours around mid November. Join us on a guided tour at Akaroa Lavender farm from November through to the end of February.
