ART, GARDENS, + FLOWERS in Lisbon!
With bougainvillea still in flower, the streets a bit emptier, and the sun still shining, October is a magical time to visit Lisbon and its collection of gardens.
Join us for visits to botanical gardens, floral experiences in secret ateliers, and private garden visits all while staying in a luxury accommodation for the ultimate comfort in the city.
-Private garden and atelier experiences
-Under the radar botanical gardens and private spaces you otherwise would not see
-Floral workshops with Chelsea
-Interactive garden walks with local garden experts
-The group is kept to 10 or under for the most enjoyable and sustainable experience.
-Our home base is a locally owned, luxury boutique hotel in a central but quiet square in Lisbon, walking distance to our floral workshops.
Our Itinerary
(subject to change)
Our adventure begins in a quiet but central area of Lisbon and then we will make our way into quiet ateliers, hidden gardens, and under the radar public gardens across Lisbon. We'll go to the flower market and make our own arrangements to enjoy for the week.
The itinerary is a highly curated experience with room for rest. Sustainability and cultural respect are priorities. We avoid high traffic tourist areas.
*private gardens and ateliers
*hands-on floral workshops
*secret, local spots
We keep some of the details private on the pubic facing pages because we go to locations that are not currently subject to over tourism and we want to keep these locations as secret as possible.
