Lavender at Lavandula (photos courtesy of Lavandula)
Angelica Organic Farm will have a stall there, selling our garlic braids and bulbs and our beautiful new season's sunflowers. Come meet me and Tim in the flesh!
Lavandula is always lovely to visit and we adore sitting under the Ash grove outside their licensed La Trattoria cafe with a coffee or a bite to eat.
Around the golden, rustic Swiss - Italian stone buildings, they grow lavender, olives and grapes amongst an extensive old fashion garden and its birdsong. There are shady trees a plenty for relaxing under whilst often treated to a parade of geese or watching the chooks in their picturesque old-style farm yard, the donkeys and other members of the farm yard menagerie...
There's also a cute little shop in the old stone barn brimming with lovely things, including a comprehensive section devoted to skincare and health products made from Lavandula's own lavender products.
Oh and of course there's patanque if you so desire...
We've also been advised that COSTA'S GARDEN ODYSSEY will be filming on the day. We love Costa and would go so far as to say this dynamic Greek garden guru has begun to fill the void left by the retirement of the beloved Peter Cundell.
Your kids (& you) will love him!
