Discover the gardens of Madeira including a special tour of the award winning Palheiro gardens.
Madeira is famous throughout the world for its natural beauty and is often called the 'floating garden in the Atlantic'. In this package we have selected the best gardens in Madeira including Monte Palace (by cable car), Jardim Botanico and of course the Palheiro Gardensnext door.
Some of the highlights of the Palheiro Gardens are the world famous Camellia collection the main flowering season being from November to April. Visitors to the Palheiro Gardens may be surprised to see trees such as Oak, Beech, Chestnut and Cedar growing alongside Eucalyptus and Araucaria pines, but such is the diversity of this unique garden. Special mention must also be given to the various members of the Proteaceae family that do well here as they are generally considered difficult to grow outside their native lands. Outstanding are the Silver trees (Leucodendron argenteum) and the Waratah (Telopia speciosissima).
The gardens recently were awarded the prestigious Relais and Chateaux garden trophy at the world awards in Monte Carlo.
