Timeline β our story in pictures
Dear Fruit tree lovers,
I am very happy to share with you all the steps of the creation of Orchard of Flavours, a Botanical garden dedicated to all fruit trees of warm climates.
By looking at the pictures, you will see some recurrent features: landscaping work, gathering fruit trees from specialized plant nurseries and collectors, lots of field work, installing a micro irrigation network to save water, work about plant identification and plant signage, work on the botanical garden fruit trees database, many pictures of great volunteers from all over the world, quite a few interventions of a bulldozer, more and more private guided tours and agroecology workshops. And not to forget, the greatest rewards: harvesting of the first subtropical fruits and adopting Gulliver, a great Tibetan dog.
Please feel free to contact us if you ever want to start your own botanical garden or if you want to share your passion for fruit trees.
Warm regards from Tavira (Algarve - Portugal).
Miguel COTTON
Founder
