A GARDEN RETREAT IN LISBON
Lisbon, Portugal
October 2025
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.

-Private garden and atelier experiences
-Under the radar botanical gardens
-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 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.
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.
