The garden in Safranbolu, where saffron and lavender are planted together, creates a new route in agrotourism
„WE WILL ALSO OFFER LAVENDER OIL“
Çetin Ayvalık, Provincial Director of Agriculture and Forestry, said that within the framework of the project implemented last year, a 55-decare lavender and saffron garden was established in the village of Gayza.
Ayvalık stated that last year, lavender was brought together with the soil on an area of 35 decares in April-May, and said, „We created the world’s largest lavender labyrinth in the area. We are very happy with the point that the lavenders have reached in 15 months.“
Stating that saffron was planted in the rest of the garden in August last year, Ayvalık noted that the first harvest was made in November.
Expressing that the lavender harvest has also started, Ayvalık said, „We are having a nice and productive year. We have had our first harvests. We have a distillation facility where our lavender labyrinth is. We extracted lavender oils in this facility. Our oil quality is very good. We will bottle these oils and present them to our consumers and visitors in our sales office in this area.“
Explaining that the project was introduced to the public as „Safranova“, Ayvalık said that the garden, which stands out with its visuality, almost functions as a natural photography studio, and that they placed various objects in the area in this direction.
Mentioning that the project has been completed visually, Ayvalık said, „Our lavenders have bloomed and it has a very beautiful visual beauty. The area where we are doing the application is very beautiful. It is a large and wide area at the entrance point of Safranbolu Glass Terrace. We welcome all visitors who are interested in eco and agrotourism in our country to Safranova.“
„GARDEN WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SAFRANBOLU TOURISM“
Safranbolu Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Ali Sami Acar emphasized that the garden will contribute to Safranbolu tourism and said, „I invite everyone to see this place. Families can have a good time with their children here.“
Visitor Sevilay Cengiz noted that she liked the garden very much and that everyone should see it.
