Lavender is one of those timeless plants that needs very little introduction. If you take a drive south of Brisbane to the beautiful Tamborine Mountain you will discover a delightful place that is totally dedicated to the amazing herb.

It is called Nardoo Lavender Shop. Anna and the great team know and enjoy everything about lavender and its many remarkable qualities. They have carefully sourced the finest dried lavender from Australian specialist growers and they are glad to show you how you can benefit from its various uses.

They have also gathered a high quality range of cosmetic products from France as well as Australia and New Zealand. If you love the smell of lavender, you will really enjoy the fine soaps and skin care products. Nothing soothes quite like lavender so they are just the thing after a long hard day in the garden.

At Nardoo, they also have a vast array of lavender themed gifts and products as well as fine linen, china and kitchen accessories. It is a great place to find some very high quality garden accessories and gardener gifts.

Books, hand tools, secateurs, and novelty brass taps that add a sense of fun to the garden. It would not be Nardoo without lavender gardening gloves and there are some gorgeous little trowels and forks all hand painted by local artists.

In the 2^nd barn, there is a huge range of pots for inside or outside your home in all sorts of shapes and sizes. There is also some beautiful antique furniture and an eclectic assortment of pieces from a time gone by. Once you start looking around, you never know what you might uncover.
