To mark the turning of the season and the launch of Spring 24, our rhubarb fragrance, we have released a very special short documentary about the Rhubarb Triangle in West Yorkshire.
The documentary follows the Cooks, fifth-generation rhubarb growers - thanks to son Jason who restored the family’s forced rhubarb sheds. The film shows the Cooks preparing for their third harvest.
Despite being filmed in winter, it feels just right for spring. Like Jason’s rhubarb, we too are ‘searching for the light’.
