At Vauxhall Gardens, we grow a German strain of Chamomile that surpasses other varieties in its high essential oil compounds. Chamomile is known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits.
Stimulating cell regeneration, reduction of free-radical damage which prevents premature aging of the skin and phenomenal toning qualities, Helichrysum works hard at keeping your skin looking young.
Vauxhall Gardens cultivates the Bocking 14 variety of Comfrey exclusively, because it contains the highest allantoin content known. Allantoin is a natural cell rejuvenator that speeds healing and will reduce any sort of inflammation.
Vauxhall Gardens is committed to growing only the most fragrant flowers with the highest oil content. We therefore only grow select varieties of the Damask Rose.
