Lavender farm «Gomel Provence»

In the heart of the Vetka District of the Gomel Region, in the village of Rudnya-Sponitskaya, lies a unique destination — the lavender farm «Gomel Provence». This is a true corner of beauty and inspiration, where from late June to mid-July you can enjoy the purple bloom of lavender — a plant whose aroma is associated with peace, summer, and romance. Although lavender blooms for only a few weeks a year, this short time becomes truly special: the scenery looks as if it came straight from a postcard of southern France.

But lavender is not the farm’s only treasure: its fragrant rows are surrounded by more than 50 types of plants — from elegant ornamental to fruit and berry species. Here you’ll find barberry, hydrangeas, wisteria, tree peonies, about 60 varieties of roses, hibiscus, as well as cherries, blueberries, and pears. This diverse landscape creates the feeling of a blooming oasis that you’ll want to return to again and again. Another beautiful surprise is the blooming yucca — an exotic plant that rivals lavender in photogenic charm.
