About Le Jardin Parque de Lavanda
Le Jardin Parque de Lavanda is in the Várzea Grande neighborhood, next to RS-115, about 4.5 km south of Gramado’s center. It began as the owners’ home garden, created between the late 1990s and early 2000s, and opened to the public in 2006. Lavender, still little cultivated in Brazil at that time, was chosen as the main plant and gave the place its name.
The park occupies a hillside and is crossed by paths that climb between beds, lawns and trees such as araucárias, cypresses and walnut trees. Lavender appears in beds devoted to different species, which vary in shade of purple, flower shape and scent. The beds are complemented by other flowers that are changed each season.
Lavender usually blooms most intensely between October and December, when the beds gain more color and the scent spreads through the garden. In other months, the landscaping continues with other species, like daisies and seasonal flowers, and the visit shows a different garden at each time of year.
From the highest points you can see the surrounding valley, with forest and the hills of the Serra Gaúcha. The visit is on foot, at your own pace, with benches and spots to sit along the route. There are stretches with stairs and steeper climbs to reach those high points.
At the entrance are the themed shop, with products made with lavender and other scents, and the greenhouses where the seedlings used in the park are produced. The bistro serves coffee and meals with a view of the garden. Entrance is paid separately; check the current price list and opening hours before you go.
