The huge gardens laid out
in specific styles. A herbal parterre, a kitchen garden, an indigenous
and an international medicinal garden, a cosmetic and fragrant garden,
and a fascinating array of small gardens to suit every style and every
whim — a bird garden, a destress garden, an aromatherapy garden, a pot
pourri garden, an edible flower garden, a fairy garden, and much more.
The Herbal Centre holds the National Lavender Collection with over 30
named varieties of lavenders, also a basil collection, a
breathtaking rosemary collection and now an oreganum collection. Several
plants have cross pollinated and stabilized in the gardens and are
named, and now the amazing free flowering "Herbal Centre Giant
Lavender" takes pride of place, flanking a colonnade and filling
the lavender gardens with a haze of mauve fragrance and
butterflies.
Once a year the gardens are open to the public for the "lavender
festival" where visitors can walk amongst the different lavenders
and then go and buy their favourites from the nursery.

Organic principles and companion planting are practised methodically
throughout with great compost heaps in evidence below the gardens and
the Herb Nursery produces from mother stock a large array of exciting
and unusual herbs, food plants and natural insecticide plants.
