The best time of the year for this unique program is June and the early part of July when the strawberries, the lavender and the roses are at their peak. The gardens, both large and small are also at their best for colour and fragrance and in addtion to enjoying lavender flavoured scones, you'll be absolutely delighted by what Chef Lockyer does with a few punnets of strawberries.
