Texas Lavender Fields
Located in the Texas Hill Country
The Lavender Fields at Becker Vineyards are
located on a three-acre field behind the winery.
Richard and Bunny Beckers 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. This farm is just outside of Fredericksburg
, Texas .
