What is a plant nursery/arboretum?

A plant nursery is designed to grow and multiply a wide variety of woody plants, mainly trees, shrubs and perennials, until they become suitable for transplanting or commercialisation. From the Algarve to the world, we work on more than 30 hectares, spread over 3 nurseries: in Paderne (Quinta do Parral), Alte (Quinta da Gralheira) and Silves (Sítio do Lobito). We have around 10 hectares of heated greenhouses and shade shelters. Every year, we produce around one million four hundred thousand plants in our arboretums.

We specialise in the production of Mediterranean, ornamental and subtropical plants. 70% are exported to Europe and the rest are commercialised in Portugal. There are more than 100 varieties of vines, shrubs, herbs, trees and palms. From Dipladénias and Bougainvilleas, to Lavandulas, Loendros or Hibiscus, to Succulents and Aromatics, among many others.
