We're a family owned and run farm. During the summer months (check the website for precise dates)we're open to visitors who are able to wander up and down the miles of lavender rows we grow. We also have a small gift shop and offer light refreshments too. Coach groups or large parties are only possible by prior booking. Hope to see you soon!

I'm ashamed to say, I grew up & lived in Hitchin for 20 plus years & have only just gotten round to visiting! What a beautiful & peaceful haven! The smell is intoxicating and the colours are just lovely. The lavender is now in full bloom so perfect for harvesting. Be sure to check their website before visiting avoid disappointment, the farm cannot always guarantee if the lavender or sunflowers are in bloom. It's £6 to enter for adults and you're given a bag and scissors, away you go! Keep to the tracks and don't cross rows and you're golden. The bees and insects are in abundance and they're perfectly safe for those that may be worried, they're more interested in the lavender! Wear sensible shoes as the ground will be uneven and stoney, best to wear loose / ankle covering trousers in case of thistles or sharp bits that may graze. It's a great place to while away a couple of hours, have a picnic, go and eat some of their wonderful home made cakes and try some lavender products. It's simply lovely & I'll be keeping a close eye on their blog to see when their sunflowers are in bloom ????

I have lived in the area for several years and never knew this little hidden gem existed until recently . Tucked away in a quiet residential road . Beautiful laid out and maintained miniature gardens open to the public . Planted with lots of English garden favourites and with lots of benches in quiet corners to sit and enjoy the gardens , There is also a small aviary and a pond with large ornamental carp The gardens also offer a small car park to the side . A little gem tucked away and hidden in the hustle and bustle of town .

My daughter has just got a fish tank and wanted to have tropical fish. I visited Hertfordshire Fisheries today and last weekend with her to get advice. On both occasions the staff were friendly and were really helpful. Ensured we bought the appropriate equipment, but both times gave really pragmatic advice and sensible options about what to buy. Very impressed, apologies I didn’t get details of either staff that helped us but would recommend this place to other families in a similar position to us.

This is an interesting garden set amongst beautiful castle ruins and an a impressive house! The gardens are both imformal/formal and at the moment the collection of snowdrops around the gardens are very pretty. The entrance fee to the gardens is £5.00,and you find a nice tea room serving home made cakes, coffeeetc... I would highly recommend a trip here.
