Located in Zhonghe Village (中和村), Lavender Cottage is an idea that blossomed from the dreams of two city girls wanting their own lavender-filled sanctuary — a place where your body and soul could find tranquility and peace.

I’ve had Lavender Cottage in my Taichung Bucket List and thought this would be an amazing place to explore with my partner, Gabriel, which was his first visit to Taiwan, along with my friends Nik and Greg, who have come all the way from Bristol to join us. I wanted Lavender Cottage to be a shared experience of discovering the beauty of flowers and immersing ourselves in nature.

Also, in case you’re wondering what are those round circles on my back on the top picture — I did cupping!

Location

We called an Uber to get to Lavender Garden from Taichung City. The drive to reach Lavender Cottage was stunning but also kind of long — lots of windy roads and scenic views.

Inside Attractions

TIP: While the flowers are stunning, taking pictures by the path is recommended to avoid the flowers getting smushed

Forest Cafe 森林咖啡館

Although our stomachs were still full from breakfast, the Forest Cafe's offerings was too tempting to resist. We decided to treat ourselves to a cozy coffee and tea session by trying out their lavender-special dishes before exploring Lavender Cottage.

TIP: If you're planning a visit to Lavender Cottage, make sure to go on an empty stomach to try their Forest Cafe

Personal Experience

We visited in October and it was definitely still very hot. I thought that the Lavender would start blooming at that time, but it sadly wasn’t in season. Regardless, it was still a beautiful expereince with different types of flowers planted alongside.
