This garden is open daily and can be visited independently of the festival's programme.
Due to reasons beyond the festival’s organization, access to this garden is currently unavailable. We recommend using alternative entrances to Tapada da Ajuda.
The Tapada da Ajuda, a natural environment featuring both forest and agriculture that is one of the green recreational spaces Lisbon has to offer, is home to the Terra de Minas Horticultural Park. Located on the School of Agriculture (ISA) campus, it opened in April 2023 as part of an agreement between Lisbon Council and ISA establishing that urban agriculture is a fundamental part of the municipal strategy for creating and maintaining green spaces. Horticultural parks were included as an integral element in these urban spaces, to complement the more conventional uses of green space.
As part of its mission to educate about agriculture good practices and encourage positive social interaction between Lisbon’s citizens, in the Tapada da Ajuda you will find not only plants grown for food but also rare ornamental species such as the Chilean wine palm (Jubaea chilensis) and the Bhutan pine (Pinus wallichiana).
