About Somerset Lavender

 Wander at will through our Lavender Garden where we trial over 20 varieties of Lavender. Breathe in the scent and notice the differing qualities of each plant, then rest awhile in the Rose Arbour. In the Lavender Field, see over five acres of Lavender, walk through the field and absorb the sight of more than 50,000 Lavender plants with bees humming, collecting pollen to make our honey.

 Our healing garden is packed full of useful herbs from the commonplace to more unusual varieties: Thyme and Lemon Balm, Arnica and Echinacea to name only a few. Sit on our camomile seat and take in the wonderful scent. Our Lavender Garden was planted in 2003 and the five-acre field in 2004. This year we will be planting another 5 acres of lavender, visit us in the summer to find out more.

 The Farm

Lavender Fields

 There are two five acre fields of lavender and both are grown for lavender essential oil and dried lavender flowers. The first field is planted only with English Angustifolia lavender that flowers in June and July, the second has a mixture of English lavender and hybrid intermedia lavender that flowering later. Therefore the second field flowers during July and August.

 Visitors can wander round the lavender fields and enjoy the sight and smell of thousands of lavender plants.

Lavender Garden

 This area has packed full of different varieties of lavender plants so that visitors can see the different colours and habits of over 20 different varieties of lavender. The rose arbour at the end of the lavender garden is a tranquil shady spot.

Healing Garden
