Fact

Tiszaderzs started planting its first lavender plants in 2019, and since then the garden has been home to thousands of beautiful flowers. Today, more than 6,000 lavender plants are blooming on nearly 7,000 square meters, and the area around Lake Tisza is also a wonder to behold. In a short time, the lavender field on Lake Tisza has become a favorite with locals and tourists alike, making the village famous throughout the country.
