Olive harvest in autumn
The olive tree, scientifically known as Olea europaea, is valued for its diverse uses. The most important are the olives, from which olive oil is extracted, which is used in cooking, cosmetics, and medicine. The leaves and wood of the olive tree are also used, for example, in traditional medicine.

ANNETTE'S GARDEN
The living room with its fireplace is very pleasant and bright in every season. Air conditioning for both winter and summer ensures a pleasant climate.
A dining area and a sofa with two armchairs for four or more people, as well as an open kitchen with a door to the terrace. The rose blossom is a symbol in the logo.
Lavender harvest in spring & autumn
Lavender, especially true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), is a versatile plant with numerous uses. It is used in cooking, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and even in the garden as a decorative plant and for pest control.
Lavender in the garden
Lavender, known for its pleasant scent, has numerous positive effects on the body and mind. It has a calming, relaxing, and sleep-inducing effect. Lavender oil is also used for skin problems, inflammation, and pain.
Lavender sachets
We collect the flowers and either tie them into bouquets to hang or make lavender sachets, which help keep moths away in the closet.
Lavender & bees & Honey
Lavender is a bee-friendly plant that provides an important food source for bees. Its flowering shrubs provide abundant pollen and nectar, especially in midsummer when other plants have already finished flowering.

The garden, Annette's Paradise
I'm delighted with the garden, with its herbs, flowers, and fruits.
My mother loved her garden and spent many hours creating, tending, and expanding it. "This is where I relax," she always said. She was curious about all the new plants and never tired of planting new roses. The rose blossom is a symbol in the logo.
The so-called "Kara Dut" mulberry (the German blackberry) is simply delicious. In 2025/2026, the lemon tree bore a truly abundant crop of lemons for the first time. 100% organic, as there was absolutely no chemical treatment. Waltraud's recipe for lemon curd is a real delicacy. And let's not forget the lavender (lavender sachets).
