There are at present three other collections of Lavandula held at various locations in the country under the auspices of The National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens . This particular collection near Nottingham reflects an interest in the species lavenders, many of which are not frost hardy. There is also a selection of the hardy cultivars.

I run a magazine, The Lavender Bag, which aims to collate information, particularly new research, on the genus. If you would like to send a contribution for publication, please e-mail me at jhead@headfamily.freeserve.co.uk .

Selected articles from this magazine will be put up on this site from time to time.

I always respond to contacts made through this web site. However, from time to time I receive queries with incorrect email addresses given - if you have contacted me and not received a reply, please try again, ensuring the email address is typed correctly.
