LAVENDER FIELDS
The Lavender Fields
at Becker Vineyards are located on a three-acre field behind
the winery. Richard and Bunny Becker’s trip to Provence,
France influenced the creation of the lavender field.
“It was beautiful
to see the lavender fields in France. The scent of lavender
was everywhere and the color was extraordinary,” Richard
Becker said.
In June of 1998, the
Beckers planted the 10,000 lavender plants. The varieties
include Lavandula x intermedia grosso, Lavandula x intermedia
provence, lavandula angustifolia, and Lavandula stoechas.
The blooming season
for the lavender is typically in May and June. The plants
can be viewed year round, and guests are encouraged to experience
the field with their visit to the winery.
In 2006 the Beckers
planted red poppies and bluebonnets in the surrounding fields.
These plants will bloom April through May.
