Islavanda

About Islavanda

Islavanda is a lavender garden in the Capilla Vieja neighborhood, about 2 to 3 km from the old center of Los Reartes and 5 km from Villa General Belgrano, roughly two hours by car from the city of Córdoba. Founder Mirna Isla, a former English teacher and school director, settled here during the pandemic, studied rural tourism, and started with about 520 plants in her garden. She later bought a second plot and quadrupled the planting to roughly 2,000 plants. The name joins her surname with the word lavanda.

Flowering runs from mid-December to February, and the lavender is cut by hand in December and January. The garden is open all year: entry is charged in high season and free the rest of the year. Each January the farm holds its Fiesta de la Cosecha, with lavender food, a live distillation and live music; the fifth edition was on Saturday, January 18.

The signature activity is a multisensory walk of about an hour and a half for groups of up to 20, booked in advance; you can also walk on your own. Off-season group walks cover lavender and other herbal plants. The farm also runs yoga, sound meditation and gong baths, afternoon teas by reservation, and programs for schools. Mirna also helps organize the Encuentro de Aromáticas in Los Reartes.

The shop sells lavandin, eucalyptus and rosemary oils, lavender hydrosol, creams, Castile soap, solid shampoo and conditioner, soy candles and herbal balms. Die Lavendel in Villa General Belgrano is about 5 km south.
