We were fortunate to visit Jersey Lavender when the lavender was in flower, it's one of my favourite plants. Jersey Lavender sell lavender jelly, lavender and honey mustard, lavender fudge and their own dried lavender flower heads, which are specially sieved and cleaned for you to use in your own recipes. Lavender can provide an interesting twist to both sweet and savoury dishes, providing you don't overdo it! Try using it instead of rosemary in savoury dishes or in Valentine Warner's lavender cream meringues. Jersey Lavender also distill lavender to obtain the pure essential oil for fragrances:
The National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens also have their collection of Lavandula here.
