Lemon Verbena and Myrtle Cultivation in Peru
The fertile banks of the river Vilcanota in the “Holy Valley of the Incas” are home to the fragrant Lemon Verbena and Myrtle of Primavera’s Peru project. There, 250 families grow and tend to the delicate plants, which are cultivated at a high altitude to ensure the richest aroma. Ancient remnants of the Incan culture inspire the project.
