At Panga Farm, all rose varieties developed in Estonia, as well as old park roses, can be admired. The hostess’s passion for roses has inspired her to collect the rose varieties of all Estonian plant breeders. The farm features a unique garden of Estonian heirloom roses. In the rose garden at Panga Farm, you can see all 67 rose varieties developed in Estonia between 1950 and 2017. This unique collection has been compiled over the years by the hostess of the farm, who has bred the plants and saved quite a few Estonian rose varieties from becoming extinct. There is no other private garden like this in Estonia. Another collection of Estonian roses is displayed in Tallinn Botanic Garden, but it is missing some of the varieties available in Panga Farm. The rose garden is located in Lääneranna Parish, Ura Village, and is open on weekdays throughout the summer months.

Right next to the heirloom rose garden, there is an herb garden with roses in between the aromatic herbs and spices, and an impressive collection of park roses. Rose cuttings propagated on the roses grown on site can be bought. In addition to the plants, the garden features bees, which bring a lot of joy to the hostess.
