Carshalton Lavender - A History
At Naturallythinking we are proud to be associated with the Local Carshalton Lavender project, which is reviving the Lavender fields of Carshalton, Surrey, our home town.

Carshalton, Surrey was once the home of the worlds Lavender production, producing arguably the finest Lavender in the world. The Lavender is commonly known as "Mitcham Lavender", as the distillation plant used to be located on the Mitcham / Carshalton border at Figs Marsh. Indeed the Lavender fields stretched all the way from Wallington in the South to Mitcham in the North. A combination of competition from abroad, combined with demands for war time metal and then the post war London housing boom (the first large scale council estate was built at St Helier, Carshalton largely on the site of the Lavender fields), led to their demise. Towards the end of the 1990's local sustainable charity organisation, Bioregional started the revival project, claiming unused pieces of land and planting them with direct descendants of the original Lavender plants. These plants have been nurtured by community projects and harvested on an annual harvest event involving the whole community, drawing people from across the country.

The Lavender produced is truly amazing, and you soon see why even the French admitted that Carshalton Lavender is the finest in the world. It is beautifully herbaceous giving a true feeling of the plant in all the products it is used. If Lavender has an "absolute" version, this would be it.

Increasingly, once again Carshalton is coming alive with the colour of Lavender and it is great for us to be able to use it and popularise it again. The small scale production and sheer quality of the oil makes it a highly sought after commodity.

For 2009 we now have our own still and distill all of the oil produced on site.
