Versatile & Magic
Lavender
–
Lavender is in season for only a month, big and purple. After that, it loses its colour and we cut it and extract its intensely sweet and fragrant essential oil. We also make lavender tea bags, lavender linen and room spray, lavender flowers in organza bags to keep your closet fragrant. In our kitchen, we make our delicious and fresh lavender lemonade squash and lavender cake!
We have a special meditation guide for you to try out here too. Enjoy a mindful walk while the lavender softly brushes against your legs. Focus on your breathing and enjoy the relaxing scent of sweet lavender. Relax your eyes with the beautiful colours around you. Listen to the gentle buzz of the bees, ground yourself and feel at one with nature.
As lavender is our most precious and fragile herb, this particular garden is accessible for adults only. There are exceptions for photo shoots. Children must be accompanied by their parents at all times and they are not allowed to run inside this garden. Book a professional photoshoot with our resident photographer. Go on a tour and learn about the benefits and uses of lavender tea and essential oil with one of our staff members.

Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to the CyHerbia lavender gardens and join us as we celebrate the beauty and aroma of lavender, our beloved herb; with our annual festival and natural products.
When are the lavender gardens open?
The gates of the lavender gardens open from June 11th. You can still visit the lavender gardens after the festival, until the end of July.
I'm a photographer and I would like to hire one of the gardens for a photoshoot. What's the procedure?
For photoshoots we have 2 lavender gardens. The “Lavender Rows” garden is private and you can book your time slot for it for €30 per hour. The “Lavender Meditation Garden” is a public garden and you will photograph amongst other photographers, including visitors during their tours. Book your time slot for €20 per hour. Give us a call to book your garden of choice.
Is Your Park Wheelchair Accessible?
With your admission ticket, you are free to enter the lavender gardens and take pictures for up to 30 minutes. Professional photoshoots do require hiring the gardens, as a photoshoot takes at least an hour. The lavender gardens are booked fast by many photographers. In order to have your time photoshooting without being disturbed or having a busy background, booking is required.
Is the park wheelchair accessible?
Most areas of the park are. You can go to the Woodland, the Maze, the themed Herb Gardens, the Botanicus Bistro, the Distillation Room and the Lavender Boutique Shop with a wheelchair or a pram. Unfortunately, the Lavender Gardens are not wheelchair or pram accessible due to the fact that the paths are too narrow, and the earth is not smooth. This can cause damage not only to the wheelchair but also to the lavender plants.
Can I bring my dog?
Dogs are not allowed in the park.
