Oak Tree Lavender Farm, Surrey's Secret Lavender Garden perfect for the family and Free Entrance.
Our Farm is now closed for the Season, see you at the Farm Next Year
We are a Baby Lavender Field
We are one of the youngest Lavender Fields in the UK as our field was only planted a few years ago.
This youth will give us some very special Lavender essential oil as it is at its finest during it's youth. The plants aren't quite as big as other Lavender fields in the area at the moment, but you can sit out and relax in the fields on our hay bale seating. Unlike Lavender fields, we have space in the field to sit, drink, relax and enjoy. We are Surrey's very own Lavender Secret Garden.
We have 4 acres of Lavender planted at the front field, with a further 20 acres planted across the rest of the Farm.

We are open 7 Days a Week.

Friday 10am - 5pm
