STROLL AMONG EUCALYPTUS, HYSOP & LAVENDER

Botanical Scent Garden

At the Botanical Scent Garden on our company premises in Lage, we have 2 hectares under cultivation, containing close on 500,000 plants – among them 80 aromatic plants from which essential oils are gleaned and around 200 “special” species. Alongside the predominant, best-known “exotic” species in Lippe, Lavandula angustifolia, the lavender from which our uniquely calming, harmonious lavender oil is derived, we grow specimens of nearly all the important medicinal aromatics and herbs here, including rosemary, hyssop, lemon balm, peppermint, oregano, St. John’s wort, yarrow and much more. Fascinating Mediterranean plants and scented exotics also await you.

Local and exotic splendour

Nearly all the plants from our small Detmold Scent Garden came with us to our new company headquarters in Lage. Alongside native species, a large number of botanical specimens such as the Caucasian wingnut, paperbark maple and handkerchief tree provoke wonder. We invite all scent lovers to join us at the start of our journey and find out how the still-young Botanical Scent Garden unfolds its full splendour.

TaoFarm guided tours

We currently grow biodynamic lavender and other aromatics such as rosemary, camomile, sage and oregano to strict Demeter guidelines on our 20-hectare TaoFarm in our hometown. Walking beside the test fields, you can get an idea of the ethics and farming practices of the TaoFarm. You can look at – smell – taste the aromatic plants in the ground and follow the development of their scent from seeds in the field to essential oil in the distillery. The tour is led by company founder Axel Meyer or pharmacist Susanna Färber.

We currently do not offer TaoFarm tours, but keep yourself updated here if there are new dates!
