The Adonis Gardens are located at Rua Branquinho da Fonseca, 14, in Amadora. Situated in a quiet residential area, they benefit from an urban environment where typical buildings coexist with small green spaces.
In the vicinity, there are squares and tree-lined streets that reinforce the contrast between the green of the gardens and the surrounding houses, creating a harmonious setting for the contemplation of the vegetal structures.
The exposed panels are made of preserved moss originating from boreal regions, including the Scandinavian Peninsula, northern Asia, North America, and Greenland. These cold-climate areas are ideal for the natural growth of this type of plant.
After collection from its wild habitat, the moss undergoes a preservation process that keeps its texture and color properties intact, eliminating the need for watering and reducing regular maintenance.
The vertical surfaces display moss patterns in shades ranging from emerald green to ochre, evoking landscapes of peatlands and ancient forests. The relief and color nuances give depth and movement to the ensemble.
This arrangement favors a gentle sensory experience, inviting visitors to pause and reflect on the presence of nature in an urban context, without resorting to artificial elements or overloading the space.
