Grasse

Grasse, in the Alpes-Maritimes, is on the globe as a lavender place. The French heritage record names it among the high places where lavender is harvested from July to mid-August.

Which lavender grows there the record does not say; the link to fine lavender is inferred. The point is Wikidata’s point for the town, not a field.

The record

Each field carries its evidence: open a chip for the source, the quoted words and the confidence. A field with nothing behind it says so and stays empty.
