Camellia Collection

Terra Nostra Garden

The vast collection of camellias at Terra Nostra Garden is known for its beauty and exclusivity.

The oldest varieties are over 100 years old and were introduced to the Garden by the Marquis of Praia and Monforte around 1872.

Starting in the 1990s, Head Gardener Fernando Costa decided to invest in this collection, as it is a plant that adapts very well to the climate of the Azores and of Terra Nostra Garden, and he began to introduce species from different parts of the world, namely North America, Holland, Spain, Mainland Portugal and even the Azores.

Currently at Terra Nostra Garden, there are about 800 specimens of different species and cultivars of camellias, spread throughout four distinct areas suitably framed by the surrounding landscape and designed with the aim of facilitating the exhibition of the entire collection.
