Home to over 10,000 lavender plants, the sizeable collection of lavender makes this home to New England’s largest lavender farm! Lavender Pond Farm began with an initial planting in 2014 of 9,000 plants and has since grown.
The Killingworth, Connecticut farm spans 25 glorious acres, making it slightly smaller in acreage than SummitWynds, which is home to 4,000 lavender plants across its 32 acres. But the vast and condensed bountiful growth of lavender plants across a slightly smaller acreage make for a beautiful concentrated display of florals!
Lavender Pond Farm almost feels like a visit to Provence in mid July!
