Although the lavender is not yet in bloom, I spent the most amazing birthday exploring the beautiful gardens of Crystal Brook. Located just over two hours south of Sydney (a little longer if your driving from central Sydney) is a small lavender farm and boutique garden centre called Crystal Brook Gardens. I was asked a simple question by my partner. What did I want to do for my birthday. I answered, I wanted to visit a lavender farm. Of course, the pain of having a birthday so early in Spring, is that a lot of the flowers are not yet in bloom for many plants. Most tend to bloom either…
