Yorkshire Lavender in the news
Over the years many famous celebrities have visited us and we were delighted to have been featured on both BBC and ITV programmes including recently 'Castle in the Country' in which James Martin used our 'Lavender Honey' to make two exciting recipes we have also featured on the front page of the Saturday Telegraph Gardening Supplement, as well as The Yorkshire Post, Herb Society Magazine, The Lady Magazine, Dalesman, Yorkshire Evening Press and BBC Radio York and Leeds. We're tremendously proud of what we've been able to achieve with huge help over the years from our work colleagues (now numbering nearly 20!) and of course our visitors.
