Amazing place, gorgeous flowers!
This place is Soo nice! Sadly I visited on a Thursday so the cafe and shop were closed, but I strolled around a bit, saw the lemurs, amazed at the plants, and wished I had read the hours their open before coming 😅
We drove over 2 hours to get here, it was so worth it. We had a great little lunch and lavender lemonade 💜 We learned so much about the best way to grow lavender, can't wait to get started planting. Bought some beautiful plants, our back of the SUV was cramped full.
Really fun place to visit. The food was good and the animals were fun to see. My kids really enjoyed the place and we would definitely make another trip out there.
Beautiful drive out and such nice people sharing their love of lavender. I drove on into Fort Worth after visiting surrounded by the comforting wonderful smell of lavender. Nice stop ,dont miss visiting this jewel !
The whole atmosphere is relaxing! The staff were incredibly nice! The lavenders were being replanted and it was out of season when we went but everything else made up for it. The lavender themed food was a hit at every instance. Do get the either lavender lemonade or the mix of lemonade and tea. It was a unique flavor with the lavender infused tea/lemonade. The salad Trio was a nice dish I would order again and again. The honey chicken salad was the best of the three potato salads. The lavender in it was subtle and it complemented the salad well. The vinaigrette dressing was awesome! We bought the dressing because it was good because of the...lavender. ;) The Hardy Ham and Swiss Sandwich was made well and was warm and cheesy with good quality ham. The Thai curry pumpkin soup was a good Thai fashioned curry soup but pumpkin. I was surprised how well it melded. Their cream cheesecake was homemade with lavender. Yum!! Their brownie sundae (substitute with lavender ice cream.) Double yum! The animals there were a plus to see at the farm. The lemurs were the coolest animal to see. They "meditate" when the sun hits them.
Friendliest owner and staff. Will be back! Great place for a stroll, AMAZING food, and great lavender products.
Omg , amazing food . The absolute best atmosphere for an afternoon meal . The pecan pie cobbler was so sinful For a guy with a bariatric sleeve. Lol Great prices and amazing wait staff. Only thing needed was a dude on an acoustic guitar.
We love this place. It's an awesome little off the road place to have lunch, and see the other side of gainesville. They have a really cute boutique with lots of lavender items. Home made soaps, plants, and other unique items for sale. Let's not forget about lunch. They have a really neat selection of lavender food items. Lavender ice cream, a neat chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. Not to forget about the lavender tea. We always feel really good after eating at lavender ridge.
Out of the way location with wonderful food and service. Interesting plants and animals to see. Beautiful plants and gifts to purchase. Fun place to visit.
We had a great time. We enjoyed the cafe. Try the pesto wrap! Sooo good. We ordered everything on the desert menu and the lavender icecream and gooey lemon cake were amazing! I also enjoyed the lavender tea!! My husband loved the lavender lemonade. I'm not a fan of lemonade at all so I passed on that:-) I purchased several items from the gift shop. The candles are amazing!!!! I purchased the lavender dog wash and surprisingly my dog loves it. He is strange about certain smells but he didn't mind this one and it hasn't bothered his skin🙌 I will be going back to purchase more! Oh, I almost forgot, the lavender honey! It was/is amazing I purchased 2 jars!
It was great loved it so peaceful and smelled out of this world. I'll be happy to go back anytime.
A beautiful place to visit! Very friendly and helpful staff with a lot of local knowledge. You can stroll their garden, visit the animals (lemurs, birds, goats, etc), shop in their gift store, purchase plants and eat at their cafe! It’s a one stop shop that makes a great day trip. There’s no admission and it is really kid/teenager friendly. We easily spent 3 hours here. If you eat there- make sure to try their lavender tea/lemonade in their shaded garden. A gem in the Texas heat! 2 tips: go early to avoid bad heat in summer, use Google maps (instead of Apple) for GPS. Their lavender fields had to be replanted but should be ready for harvesting in ‘23.
This is the most beautiful place to visit. I never made it into the gift shop but I'm sure there are some cute things in there for your garden. This is a great place to pick up flowering plants for your garden. The lemonade and ice tea is delicious. We visited the lemurs, turkeys, and yellow birds. They were so cute!
Easy to find, with gmaps, lovely and most fragrant gift shop with all kinds of goodies gor friends, family, even the kiddos. All kinds of goodies and things, beautiful plants to buy, some you can't find anywhere else, and don't forget the barn animals at the front and the back, plus walk thru the butterfly garden. Stayed and had lunch, it was a lovely visit despite the heat. Dress cool!
Raining and cold but lunch was good. Lavender not growing yet. Would like to go again when warm.
We went for a friends lunch birthday today. The atmosphere was friendly and service was exceptional. I had the chicken salad served on a croissant with broccoli salad on the side. It was absolutely delicious. You have to try the lavender cheesecake it was awesome!
The gardens are so pretty, the gift shop is adorable, the plants they were selling were healthy and beautiful, and I truly enjoyed chatting with the owners. They were delightful and knowledgeable. The Cafe seating in the garden was so peaceful, and the staff was super attentive and accommodating. I can't say enough wonderful things about this hidden gem. They've carved out a little pice of heaven there, and I can't wait to return.
It's a very cute farm with a cafe and gift shop. The butterfly garden is well maintained and you can also see donkeys, goats, lemurs, and parrots. There are several areas to sit and enjoy the view The lavender fields will be ready for 2023.
Amazing place, love the open doors, the plants and flowers, wild animals, the lavender lemonade tasted great and the iris field plantation look beautiful, this is a place to visit and rest assured, we will come back to it.
