Hitchin Lavender is opening tomorrow for the 2010 season!!

We'll be open everyday (except Mondays) until Sunday the 15th September) from 10am until 5pm so please come along and not only experience the acres of Lavender but also relax in our old barn and see many different lavender varieties and products we have for sale.

If you've been here before then you'll see some changes for the new season and if you haven't then hopefully you'll love our little family run Lavender farm and barn shop.

Ed Did Everest!!!

Our cousin Ed just did something truly amazing.... he's just climbed the big one...... Many many congratulations mate, we're all exceptionally proud of you!!!














Go visit his website - www.edoneverest.com - you just have to read his very gripping blog to find out what he's been through. All we can say is, inspiring stuff - and that goes nowhere near what we feel.

WELL DONE ED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 Weeks to go

On beautiful sunny days like this we really should be open! Although quite glad we're not as we still have the odd one or two things left to do... but by the Saturday 5th of June Hitchin Lavender shall be ready and open for the 2010 season.

This summer we have more lavenders to buy, more food available, more products to choose from and more time to come and see us. Open until Sunday the 15th September there is plenty of opportunity to come and witness the miles of rows of lavender we grow and this year for the first time we have also planted several acres of sunflowers alongside the lavender.

Hitchin Lavender is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am until 5pm and don't forget we encourage people to go into the the lavender fields and pick plenty of lavender themselves - and all for the small price of £3 per adult or £2 per child!

Hope to see you v soon!!

Hertfordshire Pure Weddings

A belated Happy New Year to everyone and I hope you're all keeping warm. Despite the cold weather we've been busy preparing for the 2010 season and are in the process of making improvements to our facilities. We've also been hand planting new varieties of lavender, back breaking but hopefully you'll appreciate the results! We've also had good success with the cuttings we took last year and most of them have coped well with the frost - so far.

Alex and Wid's wedding that we hosted in June features in this months edition of Hertfordshire Pure Weddings. It takes you through their day step by step and is a great place to look if you fancy a wedding that's a little bit different. Not many venues can offer a field of lavender as your reception backdrop, just drop us a line at the usual place if you want to talk through how you can hire the lavender fields as your venue for your special day.
