I've seen the beautiful Lavandula Lavender Farm in every season, but I think Autumn is when this place really shines (even though there's actually no lavender left in the fields!).
I recently visited the farm during a quick trip to Daylesford to pick up a second-hand table for The Sweet Meadow. I often dream about retiring to the spa country one day, so I'll make any excuse to return to this area. There is something about this region of Victcoria - Daylesford, Hepburn Springs, Kyneton, Trentham and surrounding villages - that mesmerises me.
The people here care about how their food is grown, there are majestic forests and hills, and the towns are brimming with local art and antiques. I feel so inspired every time I visit Lavandula, it's sensory overload! Rolling fields of lavender, farm animals, vegetable patches, original stone buildings, antique furniture, and plants growing in everything from old tin kettles to wheelbarrows.
I missed out on checking out a second-hand furniture store in Hepburn Springs so perhaps another trip is needed this weekend...
