Our Story
Lavender Backyard Garden is New Zealand’s only dedicated lavender farm and blueberry orchard, proudly nestled in Newstead, Hamilton. Founded in 2014, our family-run sanctuary grows real New Zealand lavender and blueberries, handcrafting natural body care, wellness, and home products straight from our farm to your hands.
Discover the Heart Behind Our Lavender Creations
Lavender Backyard Garden began as a simple patch of plain land — wild, untamed, and full of promise. In those early days, Benjamin and Samantha, parents of four, lovingly tended just four humble rows of lavender. The scent was subtle, the blooms small, but the vision was already clear: a life rooted in nature, family, and calm.
On the very same land stood an overgrown blueberry orchard, once fruitful but long forgotten. Determined to breathe life back into it, they cut the bushes down to ground level, nurturing them back with patience and care. Season after season, the blueberries thrived again — a quiet, beautiful testament to resilience and renewal.
As the farm blossomed, so did the family's dream. Joined by Sister Tracey, a certified personal care and cosmetic specialist, the family began crafting lavender-infused skincare and wellness products, made in small batches with intention and love. Every balm, candle, and mist is handmade right here on our farm in Hamilton, New Zealand, guided by Tracey’s expertise and our family’s devotion to quality and care.
From our fields to your hands, we hope you feel the heart in every jar — and experience the peace that only nature’s touch can bring.
