Ponta Delgada Jardim Jose do Canto Azores Portugal
A cool afternoon stroll in the Jardim (garden) do Canto in Ponta Delgada Azores. It was very interesting to see the unique flora native to the Azores that grow no where else in the world.
Jardim José do Canto, Ponta Delgada, Ilha de São Miguel (Açores)
O homem que transformou a Ilha de São Miguel criou um jardim em Ponta Delgada onde as árvores se desenvolveram à medida da sua ambição. Veja como somos liliputianos ao pé delas.
Dedico este pequeno vídeo a Maria Filomena Mónica, que teve a ousadia de entrar neste jardim, num tempo em que ele ainda não era visitável. Anos mais tarde, deu-nos a conhecer a vida e a obra deste homem invulgar, através do livro Os Cantos, Uma Família Açoriana, pondo em evidência as qualidades raras de um amante da botânica que conseguiu transformar a Ilha de São Miguel num paraíso terreal, sendo o seu contributo determinante para uma tarefa que se revelou hercúlea.
AZORES: Ponte Delgada city - São Miguel Island
Ponta Delgada started off as a humble fishing community and gained importance from 1522, following an earthquake that destroyed the island’s former capital, Vila Franca do Campo. It was King João III that gave Ponta Delgada its city status in 1546. Throughout the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, the busy port became an obligatory stopping and supply station for ships en route from the Mediterranean, Portugal and Africa to the Americas and the West Indies.
Jardim José do Canto is a botanical garden. José do Canto (1820-1898) was a cultured wealthy man and a nature lover. Well versed in the secrets of botany, he established contacts with botanical gardens and nurseries from around the world, from whose he bought, sold or exchanged plants. The current garden, with an area of 5,8 ha, does not have the botanical wealth of the time of its creator, but remains a place of great landscape and botanical intererst.
Jardim António Borges is a public park/garden, one of the largest and most lush areas in Ponta Delgada. António Borges da Câmara de Medeiros (1812-1879) was an avid amateur botanist, interested in introducing new species to the island. His property became an extremely rich and interesting garden. It was acquired by the City Council in 1957.
