These 4 Lavender Farms Near Montreal Offer Rolling Purple Views, Heavenly Scents & Lush Bouquets
From strawberry and flower fields to endless rows of lavender, the area around Montreal is alight with colour in the summer months. There are plenty of beautiful parks in the city, but few can compare to the sight of rolling fields of purple blossoms.
Lavender's blooming season is at its peak in mid-to-late July, meaning your timing is perfect to set a date and make your way to these farms, which also offer food, drinks and other lavender products you can bring home to keep a piece of that journey with you.
