nine themed gardens
The herb gardens are divided into 9 different sections, each having a theme. As you walk through the different gardens you will see plants related to these themes. Many plants have diverse actions and you will see them in more than one theme garden, for example thyme is used for therapeutic baths but also as an aromatic and a culinary herb. Discover the Bath Garden, Medicinal Garden, Aromatic Garden, Pest Control Garden, Ladies Garden, Relaxation Garden, Potpourri Garden, Kitchen Garden and Poison Garden.
Cyprus Wildlife
In the herb gardens you will see many species of Cyprus’ wildlife, such as: birds, lizards, butterflies, bees and if you are lucky, hedgehogs! Although hedgehogs are nocturnal animals and there is a very slim chance of seeing them roam about during the day, we are a rescue sanctuary for hedgehogs that used to be pets at home, and we slowly re-introduce them to the outdoors world again. On the left picture is Legolas, the albino hedgehog.
