Jan and Stuart Abernethy are Lavender Abbey in Carterton, Wairarapa.
We moved from Wellington to Carterton in 2008 for a lifestyle change where we purchased a 7.5-acre rural property.
The species of lavender we grow in Carterton, Wairarapa are: Grosso, Violet Intrigue, Rosea, Blue Mountain White, Hidcote, Elizabeth, Myra and Pacific Blue.
Our multi-award-winning 100% pure lavender essential oil and our lovingly handcrafted products are available to purchase on our website - www.lavenderabbey.co.nz
Lavender Abbey is available for wedding photos and wedding bunches. We are open for farm visits by appointment only and for the month of January annually in the weekends.
Every January for the past 10 years we have opened our gates for our “Pick your own lavender” events. Check our website or our Facebook page for the dates: www.faceboook.com/LavenderAbbey.
