Visit our shop or browse online for natural products, and enjoy seasonal highlights like the Fairy Festival, Lavender Festival, and Halloween Pumpkin Carving.
Nine Themed Gardens
Explore 9 themed herb gardens, each with its own focus.
As you walk through, you’ll see plants grouped by their uses—but many appear in more than one garden. For example, thyme is used for baths, cooking, and aromatherapy.
Discover the Bath, Medicinal, Aromatic, Pest Control, Ladies, Relaxation, and Poison Gardens.
Air Bee n’ Bee Hotel
A cosy home for solitary bees and beneficial insects. These tiny guests help pollinate plants and keep our gardens healthy. The hollow tubes and natural materials provide shelter, nesting spaces, and a safe place to raise the next generation of pollinators.
Cyprus Agama (Laudakia cypriaca)
Known locally as the “Kourkoutas”, this lizard is found nowhere else in the world except Cyprus. Scientists discovered that it is a unique species that evolved on the island around 2.5 million years ago. Today, it is an important part of Cyprus’ rich biodiversity and can often be seen basking on rocks and stone walls in sunny areas.
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.
Butterfly Hatchery
During the summer breeding season for butterflies, explore the captivating Swallowtail butterfly life cycle at Cyherbia. Visit the butterfly hatchery near the Botanicus Bistro to witness cocoons and newborn butterflies as they practice their wing skills before taking flight in the lush gardens. It’s a magical encounter with nature’s transformation and the graceful Swallowtail butterflies in action.
Distillation Room
Explore our distillation room and delve into the fascinating process of essential oil extraction. Our friendly team will guide you through the workings of our distilleries, offering a sensory journey as you inhale the aromatic essence of our own produced essential oils and hydrosols (flower water). Discover the distinctive uses and well-being benefits of each oil, making this experience both educational and aromatic.
