Welcome to Shropshire Lavender
The fields are now closed until 24th June 2012. We had a fantastic season and thank you to all our visitors. Our lavender flowered later than previous years and we harvested the fields three weeks later than last year. We had no rain to speak of, here in Shropshire, during the summer and we were concerned that our lavender oil yield would be low. In fact we produced a superb quality oil. This will now mature for a few months and will be bottled up soon. See our liquid sunshine here!

This year our lavender is later to flower than in previous years. We think this is because of the severe drought in April, coupled with hot days and cold nights.
This photo was taken 1 December 2010 - the earliest snow that I remember!
We grow several different varieties for Fresh Cut flowers in July, we also dry Lavender in our barn for use as Dried Lavender Flowers, Culinary Lavender, Dried Llavender for craft work (lavender bags, potpourri etc) and Lavender Bunches. See the Dried & Fresh Lavender page
