The Spring Equinox – our new beginning


This weekend marks the first spring since our family moved to The Lavender Farm in Pickstock, Shropshire. A new life, a new beginning, the first shoots of our new and exciting adventure in lavender, and a new blog…!

I have loved lavender for as long as I can recall. It lined the path of the first family home I remember as a child,and as an adult I have planted lavender at every house we have lived in – to stamp my mark and to signal ourhome. Lavender roots me. When I smell lavender I feelinstantly at home - reassured and calm.

To be living in and looking after our own lavender farm now is beyond what I could have hoped for and I still at times feel overwhelmed that we are here.

But here we are and here I am, looking at the first springshoots on our rows of lavender, after this horrible year, watching the first (huge) bumble bees and hoping somethings: that we can create happy memories for ourchildren on our lavender farm, that we can protect and continue the Shropshire Lavender legacy created in love by Joanna and Robin Spencer for their family 35 years ago, and that you will join us and share our journey and our lavender.

So pleased that the lavender farm is carrying on. I've visited many times over the years ...will you be having a cafe? I used to love having the lavender scones 🙂

Hi there. Thanks for getting in touch. We also used to love visiting for tea and lavender scones! We don’t have any firm plans to open the cafe at the moment, but we are hoping to start with some open days and events and build things from there. We’ll update the website and blog with details when we have them. Many thanks again, Emma x
