In summer bees and butterflies frolic amidst the heady scent of lavender, roses and salvias.  Autumn brings a kaleidoscope of colour.  In winter there is quiet in the air with frosty days and warm fires,,,and Spring emerges with bulbs galore and bursting buds ready for the purple haze of lavender.


The Gardens


Crystal Brook Lavender Farm is made up of several "garden rooms" - separate themed gardens.  

The Commercial gardens are closed to the public, but the lavender rows in the "display garden area" offer a lovely display for photographers. OUR LAVENDER SEASON IS FROM LATE NOVEMBER THROUGH FEBRUARY

The Medieval Garden

The Medieval Garden is one of Crystal Brook Lavender Farm's first gardens.  Long ago the medieval garden would service all aspects of the household.  It contains a number of miniature gardens that would have been found in such gardens of the past.

The perfume garden supplied scented flowers to perfume rushes and rooms.

The lady's garden also supplied scented nosegays for women when they ventured out into the streets.

The walled medieval garden also features:

-  The thyme garden
-  The flower garden
-  The fruit and citrus garden
-  The kitchen herbs and vegetable garden
-  The lavender garden
-  The apothecary garden with its medicinal plants
-  The still room garden with its pest repellants
-  Water and grasses
-  The cosmetic garden for body was and hair rinses
-  The mint garden.

The Salvia Garden

The Salvia, grasses and penstemon garden delivers a colourful array with many different salvias for culinary and medicinal use.
