The lavender of Lake Garda
Without a doubt, the mild and windy climate around Lake Garda favours the cultivation of olives, lemons and wine, which are well known and highly appreciated. Another product from the Lake Garda area is lavender, which can be processed and used in a variety of ways.
This fragrant shrub with its characteristic violet colour is organically grown in the surroundings of West Lake Garda. The lavender is in a variety of products: liqueurs, teas, jams, the delicious lavender honey. Textiles and various decorations are just some products of the small craft shops.
The lavender is grown mainly on the moraine hills that fall to the western shore on Lake Garda. The specific microclimate of this area allows the shrub to grow as early as the month of May, with harvesting in the summer.
It's a real spectacle when the hills turn violet, and the beautiful lavender scent spreads. Because the lavender is not only processed into unique products but also ensures a beautiful landscape for hiking and cycling.
