The last of the Wanaka lavender was hand-harvested on Wednesday.

Three tonnes of lavender flowers were harvested from the farm between December and February. The farm grows 25 varieties of lavender.

Lavender farm co-owner Stef Zeestraten said it was the third harvest for the farm and he hoped the yield would double next season.
