 I would loved to have timed my visit to the lavender farm when the 16 acres of plants were in bloom.

 According to Pelindaba's website, the plan was to protect this piece of land from residential development and to  share the self-sustaining, open space with other residents and island visitors. Pelindaba is a Zulu word related to the owner's South African roots. Not only does the farm cultivate  lavender inorganically certified fields and extract the essential oils in their on-site distillery, they also handcraft botanical, culinary, personal care, and therapeutic products.
