Carshalton Lavender Planting and Volunteering 2020
Would you like to help us plant 20,000 Lavender plants this March?
Would you like to Volunteer
to help with the planting of 20,000 Happy Little Lavender Plants this Spring?
We are looking for Volunteers to help with some Lavender planting in March. If you could come and help us reach our aim of planting 20,000 new Lavender plants we have some great Carshalton Lavender goodies to give away free.
Where
The planting will take place at our Little Woodcote Farm in Wallington.

We have plenty of parking on site and easy access to Wallington Train Station (with direct links to London). Our nearest bus is the 127 which connects Wallington and Purley Train Stations.
What's involved
The area being planted has already been defined with weed barrier.
The Lavender plants will be 18 months old and are ready to be hand planted. They are easily planted with a "dibber" and being pushed in t the soil.
It does involve being on your hands and knees to plant. We will provide gloves and dibbers.
The volunteering event is suitable for all the family.
Refreshments & Thank you
We will provide free refreshments on site (Tea, Coffee and Fruit Squash).
There will be a variety of Free Carshalton Lavender Skincare Gifts available for all volunteers.
Dates
We are waiting to confirm the date as we want to choose a weekend a little nearer the time to ensure nice weather.
Schools
If you would like to get your school involved with our planting, we can arrange a planting session for your school during the week.
Getting out on the field is an idea way to experience nature and understand the growth cycle of not only Lavender but some of our other plants and herbs that are growing at our field.
If you are a parent or School Teacher that is interested, please contact us at support@naturallythinking.eu planting will be from mid March onwards.
Other Events
We will be running a series of Events throughout 2020 at both our Little Woodcote Estate Farm and our Oak Tree Farm.
Please follow our Facebook Page and keep an eye on our blogs for latest developments.
We expect our Lavender Harvest to be the last week of July and we will be carrying out harvests of Peppermint, Chamomile, Rosemary, Sage and Thyme through May, June, July and August
