Discover our lavender fields in the heart of unspoilt nature, in blue lavender. Terre Ugo has around 45, lavender plants on its 7-hectare family estate. Lavender is one of the symbols you can't miss if you come to visit our beautiful region: its perfume, its color, the bees Let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere of our little corner of happiness, just a few minutes from the town of Aix-en-Provence. During your visit to the estate, you'll discover a species of lavender: Lavandin Grosso.
This variety is the result of a natural hybridization between true lavender and spike lavender, and generally grows on plateaus at altitudes of between and 1, meters. Our cultivation is entirely organic and respects the environment. We do not apply any treatments to our lavender fields, not even water.
From February to March, around thirty sheep join the estate to carry out natural weeding. These sheep feast on the weeds that grow between the lavender plants, which is both beneficial and natural for us.
Don't worry, they don't touch the lavender plants, as their strong taste and perfume repels them. Lavender blooms between the end of June and the end of July , which is the best time to come and contemplate this mauve color. If you come to visit us in August, you'll have just as good a chance to see the evolution of this flower, which, because of its species, tends to be grayer, but retains its concentration of fragrance and benefits.
The harvest takes place at the end of August. We keep some of the flowers to make products for our shop, where you can find lavender sachets , lavender bouquets and many other products based on this emblematic flower The other part of our harvest is distilled to make our essential oil.
