Pick your own lemon grass...in sunny Lancashire!
If you think lemon grass is only grown in exotic lands then think again. Thanks to Greenhouse Sensations you can now pick-your-own lemon grass in an industrial estate near Ormskirk! The company, based in Mawdesely, has an 18 metre greenhouse and inside they grow what is essentially everything you would need to make the most delicious Thai curry, plus some exotic fruits for afters. In addition to the lemon grass they grow ginger, cardamom, chillies, bananas and papaya. If you're already pondering a trip to Mawdesley this weekend perhaps the fact that you can pick all of these things totally free might help you decide. Yes, there is no charge for tasting, and taking home the fresh produce. A very refreshing change from the usual overpriced pick-your-own farms.
