When is the lavender in bloom?

We have different varieties of lavender in our gardens and they flower at differing time. But all the lavender tends to be in bloom from mid-July to the end of August, when we harvest the flowers. For the most up to date information on flowering, please keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages when we share regular updates. 

​

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, we are dog friendly! You can bring your dog to the gardens, and in the shop, plant nursery and certain areas of the tea room, as long as they are kept on a lead at all times. ​

​

Do I need a ticket for the Tea Room?

No, admission to the Tea Room, shop and plant nursery is free. You will only need an admission ticket for the gardens.

​

Do I need to book online?​​​​

If you are not sure of your plans, or want to be spontaneous, you can simply pay for your garden admission ticket on arrival. Otherwise, please feel free to book a ticket online. If you are interested in a pre-packed picnic or an afternoon tea, these need to be booked 48 hours in advance of your visit.  

​

What times are you open?

During the season we are open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm. We close at 5pm so please allow plenty of time for your visit. Please note that the Tea Room is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but refreshments will be available elsewhere on site. 

​

How long does it take to go round the gardens?

This depends entirely on how fast you walk! Some people choose to linger for a long time, bring a picnic, sit and relax and enjoy the views or explore the different garden areas. Others have a flying visit. There is no time limit so feel free to relax with us for as long as you'd like. 

​

Do you close for Bank Holidays?

No, we stay open 7 days a week through the season, including Bank Holidays so why not enjoy some of your long weekend with us. 

​

Can I bring a picnic?

Absolutely! You are welcome to bring food to enjoy in our gardens. Or, why not take the hassle out of preparing one and book a picnic from the Tea Room, which includes free garden admission!​
