Purple paradise arrives early! @CastleFarmKent , the UK's largest lavender haven, is bursting with colour a week ahead of schedule. Visitors can now immerse themselves in fragrant fields, picnic amidst blooms, and witness the annual harvest of nature's purple gold.

@HortonKirby Hello Alan, Iβm sorry to hear this, you are always welcome to take photos of the views from outside the event fields, if you DM with a few more details I would like to investigate further as we always aim to ensure our visitors feel welcome π
@Matt_Pinner Glad you like the view of our Lavender Fields in Kent! The beautiful purple blooms from late June to late July when we harvest for the precious essential oils. π

This year's wreath, including lavender from a visit to @CastleFarmKent earlier this year and conifer foliage kindly given to me by a friend. Everything else is from the allotment or garden. I'm chuffed with it!
