Who we are and how it all began
Farmers and nature lovers.
Our love for the land and our environment has led us to create this beautiful project where plants are the protagonists.
We are the hands that transform nature and the Mediterranean landscape into precious treasures for both our body and our soul.
May our seeds germinate and bear fruit in our products!
Alberto Miralta
I always wanted to live and work in a rural environment, striving for self-sufficiency and balance with nature. I studied illustration and worked in advertising photography until I decided to learn blacksmithing.
Sixteen years ago, together with my wife Ana, we settled in our farmhouse and decided to bring it to life by growing aromatic plants to distill and extract hydrolats and essential oils.
Since then, our goal has been for this space to become a place where nature thrives and expresses itself fully, a living and constantly evolving work of art.

Along with my partner and life companion, I am at the helm of El Jardín de Las Lilas, a beautiful permaculture project, where in addition to cultivating the plants that will be transformed into our hydrolates, essential oils, and oleacerates, we can express our love for the land, always seeking balance among the beings that inhabit it and becoming one with our surroundings.
I have trained in Spagyrics at the Andalusian School, Hermetic Astrology, Organic Agriculture, and Naturopathy with phytotherapy, Bach flowers, and aromatherapy, among others. I have been a professional artisan for over 19 years.
I teach courses on plants, cosmetics, and remedies in the space where we live, seeking to bring people closer to nature and help them draw from its inexhaustible wisdom.
Manifesto
We champion local, healthy produce grown with ecological awareness and love for the land.”
We are the flowers that bloom in our fields, the love for our land and our families, the freedom to live and grow in harmony with nature.
Our laboratory rescues ancient processes, transforming the essence of plants into sources of well-being, honoring their wisdom. Our path is rooted in the countryside, family, and the authenticity of our work as farmers.
El Jardín de Las Lilas is a project that allows us to express our love for the earth and permaculture, seeking a balance where we coexist in harmony with the environment.
This is how we are at El Jardín de Las Lilas: actively listening to our essence, letting stars and plants guide us towards a life of peace and deep connection with the world around us.
Philosophy
Our commitment is to the land, cultivation, biodiversity, and purity. These are our driving force and pillars, what defines us as a project.
Earth
We are farmers. The design of our space is based on permaculture concepts, where every corner of the farm is designed with the utmost respect for the natural environment.
We care for the soil, promote biodiversity, and cultivate according to real sustainability criteria. Everything originates from living land, treated with awareness and care.
Crops
Mediterranean diversity in our garden: cultivation of aromatic plants
In our fields grow Mediterranean aromatic plants such as lavender, helichrysum, rosemary, sage, and geranium. The mix of varieties creates a diverse and balanced landscape that promotes a healthy and vibrant ecosystem.
Plants
We harvest each plant at its peak and transform its essences using artisanal techniques. This is how we obtain pure hydrolats and essential oils, with all the energy and concentration of the original plant. Products designed to care for the skin... and well-being too.
