I've read mixed info on whether lavender has been replanted at Senanque Abbey. Does anyone have first-hand knowledge on that?
Thanks,

what do you mean, replanted, from when? I think they did some restoration of lavender stock or replanting about five years ago, but I haven't heard anything unusual about it recently, it's blooming as usual. Probably about over anyway for this year. Here's one photo from just a couple weeks ago http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/7017360

In 2009 the lavender was replaced by wheat. As far as I know, since 2010 the lavender's been back.

I just got back from there on July 15th and it was in full spectacular bloom.

There is lavender planted now - but when we were there in late June '10 it was weeds.
