Find Your Garden Style
A curated selection of garden styles adapted to the Portuguese climate, landscape and way of living.
Mediterranean Garden: Gardens rooted in the Mediterranean climate, characterised by drought-tolerant planting, structural trees, mineral surfaces and the creation of shade. A timeless balance between comfort, permanence and low maintenance.
Contemporary Minimal Garden: A restrained and architectural approach to the garden, with clear lines, limited plant palettes and a strong dialogue with contemporary architecture. Space, proportion and materiality take precedence.
Tropical / Subtropical Garden: Lush and immersive environments using tropical or subtropical species adapted to sheltered Portuguese locations, particularly along the coast. Dense planting and a strong sensory presence define this style.
Naturalistic / Ecological Garden: Inspired by natural landscapes, with freer compositions, layered vegetation and an emphasis on biodiversity. Native and well-adapted species are used to create resilient and ecologically balanced gardens.
Rustic / Rural Garden: Gardens connected to agricultural and rural traditions, incorporating orchards, informal layouts, traditional materials and a deliberately simple, grounded aesthetic.
Urban Patio / Courtyard Garden: Small-scale, enclosed gardens where intimacy, shade and spatial composition are key. A deeply Mediterranean typology, well suited to dense urban contexts.
