Due to the Covid-19 social distancing restrictions the fields will be open with restrictions to control the number of people in the fields at one time. We are asking visitors to book an appointment for field visitation. Drop-ins may not be able to be accommodated. To allow as many people to experience the short bloom, that happens in July, we are only able to allow a one hour visit. This will be enough time to enjoy the fields and to take pictures of your experience, walk the lavender labyrinth, read the descriptive panels that explain what we do here and enjoy a seat on our terrace to enjoy the view. Our Lavender Boutique and plant nursery will only be offering curb-side pickups for on-line orders. Our store and nursery are too small to safely social distance. Thank you for your understanding. After the July bloom and flower harvest, the fields will be open with an appointment to anyone who would like to walk our labyrinth until September 22nd.

There is an admission fee by appointment for accessing the fields in July during the week and on weekends. You can find details on our lavender fields page.

Dogs are not allowed. Many of our visitors enjoy laying in the grass, having a picnic on the grass, or walking in the grass ( earthing ). For this reason, we only allow trained service animals. Please also respect that some people are afraid of dogs. We would like everyone to enjoy a relaxing day here at Laveanne. Thank you for your understanding.

Our grounds are nice for a picnic. You are welcome to bring your lunch on a warm day and enjoy a picnic lunch in the lavender fields if you can eat your lunch in the one-hour time slot that you purchased. If you decide to bring a lunch please also bring your chairs or picnic mat, a sunhat, sunshade, or sunscreen. Lavender loves to grow in full sun, so there is very little shade here.

We encourage you to take photos of friends and family and share them on social media. As an individual or family coming to our fields to enjoy the bloom, and to take some casual pictures of your family or friends there is no photo fee. Photo fees would only apply if you were to profit from selling the pictures or your photography services or session fees. In the case of stock images or portraits. Refer to the booking instructions found on our private photo session page. No drone fly-overs or photography permitted during public business hours.Drone photography requires Laveanne's prior consent and a full field reservation fee (after business hours) per one hour time slot (see photo policy, photo permit fee structure).

Certain attractions may have to remain closed such as theatres or may have restrictions on the number of people at one time. Port Hope is an interesting and intriguing place. Leaving Laveanne and going left or south on Gilmour Rd. the first place you could explore is our neighbour at # 8382, Lindwood Acres Trout Farm is open daily for tours of his stock ponds and fresh fish purchase. Continuing down the road, if you turn left on Ganaraska Rd. 9 and go East until you get to HWY. #28.

Continuing South on HWY. # 28 you come into the Town of Port Hope. Like a time capsule, the downtown architecture captures the flavour of small-town Ontario in the late 1800s, enhanced by its renowned antique, boutique, galleries and one of a kind shops. If you plan to stay for dinner, Port Hope has many fine restaurants to choose from, with cuisine ranging from North American, European, Thai, Chinese or Greek. You can find cafes & pubs that can provide a relaxing break to your day out. There is so much more to do, but this may require a longer stay. They include live theatre, museums, architectural tours, outdoor recreation and much more. ( for more information see the visitporthope.ca website for things to do in the area).
