Team

Tomás Tojo
Director

Gardener and activist. He believes in a greener and more collaborative society. Develops projects in social economy, combining gardening and creativity with the desire for social change. Passionate about people, gramineae and herbaceous plants.
Ana Rebelo
Producer

Cultural and events producer. She enjoys yoga and has a passion for teams and processes. If she had to choose a single tree, it would be an Adansonia digitata, and for a fruit, she would choose an Alcobaça apple.
Telma Antunes
Cultural Programmer

Fascinated by the cross-pollination between ecology, the arts and humanities, ecotones and symbiotic relationships. Her first treasure was a herbarium and she grew up among fig trees. She has a soft spot for freesias, peonies, melissa officinalis, passiflora incarnata and sweet peas.
Pietro Romani
Volunteers

Pietro is all about dance and plants, feeling and doing. Shifting between different areas, he has developed an appreciation for work with communities. He is fascinated by the Voyager space probes and decided to become a gardener. He prefers songs that tell a story and has left the city to live in the forest.
André Freire
Communication

With a background in architecture, he fell in love at a very young age with the warmth of Mediterranean landscapes, followed by a natural fascination with the long canopies of the Cupressus totem.
Carolina Matias
Communication

Translator and communicator, she is interested in language as a means and words as an end. She is fascinated by nictinastia and likes to observe the circadian rhythm of plants.
Ivo Meco
Content

Biology teacher, amateur botanist, writer of the garden guide, “Jardins de Lisboa: Stories of Spaces, Plants and People”. He believes we become eternal in the form of stories in the memories of the world.
Filipe Cardigos
Communication Design and Illustration

He is adept at propagation and plant swap. In the vegetable world, one of the things that fascinates him the most is seeing a plant moving on its own.
Mariana Rosa
Web Design and Development

She is a curious observer of the growth of plant species, particularly enchanted by those that sprout from inhospitable places. She joins the team to bridge green matter to the digital realm.
