Over 30 years’ experience squeeeeeezed and distilled into 1 hour!

It’ll be a heady mix.

Be amazed at the great diversity of lavenders, from the ultra-normal Hidcote to the really weird aristibracteata.

Be enthralled by a lavender distillation as we reveal where the oil’s secreted in lavender and why different lavenders have different scents.

Be engrossed as we take a peek behind the scenes at how we grow and show lavenders, and how we breed them for gardeners and commercial farmers.

Be thankful for our research into bees, bugs and lurgies – the good, the bad and the ugly!

An experience to leave you buzzzzzing.

Light refreshments.

All for just £7.50 per person.
