Service Description

Lavender is one of the best known and most loved of all herbs, with its unique fragrance and stunning flowers it remains a gardeners’ favourite. We have four acres of lavender, a beautiful café located in converted stables, gift shop, childrens’ playground, quad barrel train ride, Wooden maze, woodland walks, woodland warriors 1 km looped walk, outdoor snakes & ladders, plant sales and plenty more. The word ‘lavender’ is believed to come from the Latin word ‘lavare’ meaning to wash/cleanse, since the plant’s antiseptic and healing properties were known to the Romans. Some suggestions are that the name derives from the practise of spreading washing to dry over lavender bushes in its native land. Another possibility is the historical use of lavender as a fragrance in Roman baths. In today’s world lavender oil will fill your home with a gorgeous calming scent, treat insect bites, help repel fleas from your pets (put a few drops on their nylon collar), help you sleep (put a few drops on a hankie and tuck it into your pillow), de-stress you (add a few drops to your bath), keep the moths at bay (put dried lavender in your drawers/wardrobe) with its antibacterial properties it is also good to help heal scaring, once broken skin has re-formed lavender oil can be rubbed into scars to help improve healing.
