When it comes to lavender farming, the Texas Hill Country provides an environment that turns out to be ideal for growing lavender. The alkaline limestone soil combined with the dry climate as well as efforts from local farmers has resulted in vast, beautiful lavender farms scattered throughout the region.

The first (commercial) lavender farm in Texas was Hill Country Lavender in Blanco, Texas. They planted their first two acres of lavender in 1999, and today, they’re still in operation, giving lavender growing seminars and participating in the annual Blanco Lavender Festival.
