Peak Bloom and What to Do at Bees N Blooms Lavender Labyrinth

The most awaited weeks of lavender season begin this weekend with peak bloom occurring Friday May 31 through about June 16th. The lavender labyrinth lights up with brilliant purples, lavender, whites, and pinks. Each circle in the labyrinth is a different lavender variety. From mid-June to mid-July, the Grosso lavender field is in peak bloom, perfect for the Lavender U-Cut Experience. Check the status of the blooms every week here. Typically updated on Thursdays.

  3. Is it possible to enjoy a visit without close contact with bees?

    • Hi Ellie,

      Yes! If you steer clear of brushing up against flowers, you’ll miss most of the bees. The Pavilion is a lovely place to sit to enjoy the view without having to deal with bees. If you are allergic though, you should wait until after peak bloom to visit. While a sting is unlikely, it is possible.

      Susan
