The success achieved with experiments undertaken in the cultivation of an aromatic herb called
buchu in 2002, on the La Motte Nabot farm in the Walker Bay coastal region, led to the
allocation of approximately 15 hectares on the
La Motte estate to the organic cultivation of oil-producing plants. Lavandine, rose geranium,
Cape chamomile bush and buchu have been planted and the operation is now a fully-fledged
industry.
All plants are cultivated in La Motte’s own nursery, which allows La Motte to be self-sufficient.
In its production of ethereal oils, La Motte is committed to the principles of biodiversity, aimed at
alleviating the impact of agricultural activities on the environment. All the ethereal oil plants are
farmed organically through eliminating or largely avoiding the use of fertilisers, synthetic
pesticides, plant growth regulators and animal feed additives and through recycling and re-use

in order to reduce capital and operating costs and alleviate the cost to the environment.
Arômes de La Motte
The Arômes de La Motte range of body products is made from ethereal oils harvested from
organically grown plants on the estate. The range includes a Hand & Body Lotion, Hand Wash,
Shower & Bath Gel, Room Freshener, Massage Wax Candle, Ethereal Oil and Palm Soap. The
products share the attributes of the ethereal oils they are made of, such as the antiseptic
properties of buchu, the calming and anti-bacterial properties of Cape chamomile, the
therapeutic and healing properties of lavandine, the calming and antiseptic properties of
bergamot and the skin toning properties of grapefruit oil. The products have a subtle fragrance
and are super-nourishing natural moisturisers which are easily absorbed. They deodorise,
invigorate and rejuvenate. The Arômes de La Motte range is perfect for everyday use and, with
its elegant packaging, makes for beautiful gifts. The range is available from the La Motte Farm
Shop.
