Blooming Hill is a small lavender farm of four acres set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Lavender is a widely used herbal medicine, known for its soothing scent that can calm nerves or relieve anxiety. It can also help relieve headache, migraines, and insomnia. But it’s also a vibrant perennial that is in full bloom generally from June through August. Although usually associated with shades of blue and purple, plants are also available in white, pink, mauve, and even yellow.
At Blooming Hill, you can wander through purple fields swaying in the breeze and pick your own lavender. You can visit Blooming Hill anytime from mid-April to Mid-December on Fridays and Saturdays.
