Stand in a field of lavender and your next inhale relaxes you. Open your eyes as blues and purples pop into focus. Busy bees buzz around, pollinating from one plant to the next, while butterflies flutter from one bud to the next. This is the beauty of visiting a lavender farm. I couldn’t believe that these beautiful lavender fields were located so close to Greenville! Keep in mind that many lavender farms in North Carolina may also be close to you.

Lavender Farm Etiquette
Each lavender farm in SC 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 SC when the farm is not open.
- Driveways are made of dirt and gravel – drive SLOWLY!
- Do not smoke anywhere on the property, including 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.

Hello, Thank you so much for this article. I wanted to tell you about a new lavender farm opening in 2024. Agape Farm South in Dillon, SC. We have been growing and experimenting with the best varieties to grow in the humid South for two years. We are excited to share our farm just 15 minutes from I95 and 15 minutes from hwy 501 to the beach.
I look forward to visiting it next year. Thanks for letting me know!
