When can I see the Lavender?

The lavender is in bloom now, some rows are already in full bloom whilst others are only a week or two away as we pass the start of December. The best month to view the lavender is in January during its peak. The lavender is still on display into Autumn. During the warmer months you can watch as the gardeners harvest the crop by hand using a half moon sickle. It is then hung up to dry under the shade of the veranda's. You may also catch a glimpse of us distilling the lavender into oil and infused water, ready to be used in our aromatherapy products.

Besides the lavender, the farm also stretches out for 100 acres of gardens and country landscapes. Accompanied by historic buildings dating back to the 1850's, a variety of matured trees, garden beds, flowers, a flowing creek depending on the time of year and plenty of space to lay out the picnic rug!
