Novak Đoković reportedly plants 2,000 lavender roots at his Srem estate

Novak Đoković has reportedly added a fragrant new feature to his countryside property in Srem, where a lavender garden now lines the path leading from the entrance towards the house. According to the article, around 2,000 plants were put in along the route to the residence near Pavlovac Lake. The report says Đoković contacted a landscaping company several weeks ago and that a team later carried out the planting. Lavender was chosen not only for its appearance, the article claims, but also because the plant is commonly associated with helping keep mosquitoes and other insects away. The family is said to have wanted a more comfortable place to spend warm days outdoors. The reported cost of the plants alone is estimated at more than €6,000, based on an approximate price of 300 dinars per root. That estimate does not include the workers’ fees, the article notes. The figures and details are attributed to sources said to be familiar with the landscaping work. The property is described as a secluded family retreat surrounded by greenery, with access to the lake. The article says the larger complex includes a villa, a swimming pool, a waterfall and a stone cave feature. It also states that Đoković’s father, Srđan, most often oversees work on the grounds, while the tennis star visits when his sporting commitments allow. The lavender planting is the latest reported change to a property whose development has already drawn public attention. For Đoković and his family, the article presents the garden as a practical and decorative addition to a quiet getaway away from the demands of his professional schedule.
