Lavender isn’t exactly a plant most people associate with the American Midwest. It is a notoriously finicky plant to harvest, and Ohio’s harsh winters can make it difficult for this stunning flower to flourish. However, certain varieties can be coaxed to thrive here, and this lovely little lavender farm tucked away in the small town of Martinsville — approximately an hour outside of Cincinnati — is a peaceful gem just waiting to be discovered.
If you’re looking for a relaxing way to spend a late spring or summer’s day without traveling too far from home, Peaceful Acres Lavender Farm certainly delivers. The lavender will be blooming in late May, and you’ll want to plan a visit from Cincinnati to witness the beauty for yourself.
