Tropical Gardens in Portugal
For those wishing to bring a touch of the tropics to their garden here in Portugal, we are fortunate with our climate in this part of the Mediterranean to plant a range of species that adapt very well to the Portuguese weather.
Providing they are not too exposed to harsh northerly winds, or planted in frost-prone locations, you will find we can introduce a whole range of different palms, cycas, strelitzias; as well as bananas, mangoes and passion flowers.
A tropical theme has a lot to do with leaf structure - glossy leaves, striking foliage colours and an assortment of trunks of different sizes, all allowed to fill and clump together. The highlight of this theme would be to see stunning multi-coloured flowers or seed pods popping through the undergrowth.
A tropical theme looks fantastic around a swimming pool creating the perfect oasis, and if it has been mulched with rock and decorative gravel, your maintenance costs are heavily reduced and there is no debris or mess to fall in the pool.
For those who want to be big, bold and tropical - let us come and give you a taste of Tahiti.
