January 14. flowering now but fading... Lavendula angustifolia x 6 varieties,blue, purple,& white. Lavendula heterophylla. Lavendula dentata X 3 varieties, blue & white. Lavendula intermedia x 4 varieties, tall blue & white. Find a green lavender that smells freshly of lemon, now that is different!
Work has now commenced to rejuvenate and replant areas of the extensive lavender collection. Spent plants of some stoechas varieties that give so much pleasure in spring are being removed and the mounds are being prepared for replanting in autumn. We expect this work to take two seasons to complete.

Perfumery building officially open
Deputy Mayor of the West Tamar Rick Sheegog and invited guests toured the new PERFUMERY BUILDING at Lavender House in Rowella before the official opening by Tasmania’s Minister for Tourism, Michelle Obyrne on Wednesday December 8th 2010.
Dudley Dreadful Dog took a lot of persuading but he is now quite at home upstairs in the admin. area. He woofs happily out the window or sits at the top of the stairs supervising operations.
We were able to take occupancy of the new PERFUMERY building and unofficially open to visitors in October 2010. With generally wet and muddy conditions it was quite a challenge to landscape the building site to be relatively decent for the opening!
