The Gardener

Trish and Jason are passionate about creating a sustainable lifestyle block. We are
spray-free as possible without being certified organic. All of the work (from heavy pruning
of olives to the rose garden) we do on our own (it is a busy schedule during the year!).

We are expanding the more formal gardens alongside the commercial crops of lavender
and olives. The lavender fields flower from mid-December to late January

Garden Size

7 acres/ 2.9 hectares of organic lavender, olive and lemon groves.
