Location

The Horta Jardim is located in the Bairro do Além, a predominantly residential and quiet area of the town of Mateus, in Vila Real. This position gives it a serene and sheltered environment, ideal for those seeking a moment of calm and closeness to nature within an urban context. It is a corner that integrates harmoniously into the housing fabric, providing an interesting contrast between city life and dedication to the land.

Philosophy and Creation

The development of the Horta Jardim began in the spring of 2019. Its conception and evolution involved the collaboration of a landscape architect, whose vision was fundamental in outlining the space and cultivation methods that characterize it. This project was born with the purpose of being a dynamic space, where horticultural practice is united with knowledge sharing, establishing a continuous dialogue between the cultivated environment and the community that discovers it.

Horticultural Practices

This space is distinguished by its strong commitment to organic horticulture. It is a living example of how to cultivate sustainably, respecting natural rhythms and biodiversity. Visitors have the opportunity to observe and understand the essential stages of this type of cultivation, from planning and soil preparation to sowing and planting techniques. The site also demonstrates the natural way of dealing with pests and diseases, highlighting the importance of a balanced ecosystem.

A Hub of Knowledge

The Horta Jardim is more than a cultivation space; it functions as a true hub for learning and knowledge exchange. Its concept is based on sharing profound wisdom about the earth and its cycles, allowing visitors to learn about the importance of sustainable agriculture. Its existence is part of a broader initiative that aims to value environmental knowledge and foster a closer and more conscious relationship with the natural world by the community.
