The farm is open to visitors on weekends until 26 March until Mid September. Why not bring along a picnic and enjoy the gardens. They have a shop where you can sample and purchase a range of lavender products and gifts. During Summer (November - January) you can walk among the rows of flowering lavender and breathe in its delightful fragrance. They harvest the lavender in January and February - During this time you'll get to see the harvested lavender hanging to dry in the drying sheds and can enjoy an informative talk about the harvesting and drying process. During the off-season the tea room can be available for group bookings of 15 or more, why not explore the garden and hear about how lavender is harvest and processed, and also enjoy their famous Devonshire Tea. Throughout the year they also hire out the property as an event venue. Contact the team to discuss parties, engagements, weddings, parties, corporate functions, business workshops or market.
