Updated for 2022!
While we have loved visiting sunflowers in New Jersey, we realized that there are other floral experiences in the garden state. Known for so many health benefits, lavender was a favorite scent of the original blue eyes himself Frank Sinatra, and it really does have a lovely rich scent. From cooking to therapeutic purposes, lavender is appreciated across many cultures. Whether you want to enjoy a new experience, photograph a unique moment, or appreciate New Jersey farms, there are quite a few lavender farms in our state. Here are a few we have compiled!
