Best Time to Visit Lavender Fields in Maryland
Lavender harvest season is from late April to August—the flowers peak in the middle of June in Maryland. While guests often ask whether the lavender is in bloom, guests should ask instead whether the lavender is in full color.
Please note that most of these are working lavender farms, and therefore, access is limited to specific times, including advance reservations. Follow each property’s guidelines to ensure you’ll have your best outing.

MD Lavender Farms Etiquette
Each lavender farm in Maryland has its own set of rules. Please consider them carefully before you go out to each lavender farm to avoid any aggravation. Some general rules have been listed below:
- Do not go to any lavender farm in Maryland when the farm is not open.
- Driveways are made of dirt and gravel – drive SLOWLY!
- Do not smoke anywhere on the property, including in parking lots.
- Do not bring your pet with you. They can’t be around the lavender and you don’t want to leave them in the car.
- Bring your own scissors and bag if you’ll be picking your own lavender.
- Only cut the stems above all the leaves.
- Leave the bees, butterflies, and other insects alone. They will fly away on their own.
- Walk between the lavender rows – don’t walk on the weed fabric.
- Wear sunscreen if you’ll be picking your own lavender.
- Don’t forget bug spray since there are often woods nearby.
- Wear flat shoes – you’ll be in the fields, sometimes in muddy spots. Save your heels for another time.
