Tem uma área de cerca de 2,5 ha e organiza-se em quatro espaços: o estacionamento, a zona das piscinas e bar, a zona do parque de lazer e contemplação e a zona definida por Festival Internacional de Jardins, com 12 espaços distintos em forma e em área. Uma pérgula metálica coberta de trepadeiras estende-se ao longo deste espaço e separa a zona dos 12 canteiros do espaço de lazer e piscinas.
A ramada e as fruteiras que já existiam foram mantidas, proporcionando aos visitantes mais sombra, tornando este espaço ainda mais acolhedor a quem o visita.
O Festival Internacional de Jardins é um evento anual que abre as suas portas ao público na última sexta-feira do mês de Maio e encerra a 31 de Outubro. Entre Novembro e Maio, desmontam-se os jardins e prepara-se a nova edição com toda a azáfama da construção.
A selecção dos jardins é realizada por um Júri e ocorre após um concurso internacional. Qualquer pessoa pode concorrer independentemente da sua idade, profissão ou nacionalidade. O que é importante é a criatividade dos autores e a expressão de ideias inovadoras.
Obteve o prémio de Festival Internacional de Jardins do Ano de 2013 no âmbito do Prémio Garden Tourism Awards, intergrado no evento internacional “2013 North American Garden Tourism Conference”, em Toronto – Canadá. Nomeação para os Prémios Novo Norte na categoria Norte Criativo, iniciativa conjunta da Comissão de Coordenação da Região Norte e Jornal de Notícias.

The International Garden Festival of Ponte de Lima is located on the right bank of the river Lima. It has an area of about 2,5 ha and is organized into four areas: the parking area, the pool and bar area, the recreation and contemplation zone and the area defined as the International Garden Festival with 12 distinct spaces in shape and area. A metal pergola, covered with clinging plants, extends throughout this space and separates the zone of 12 flowerbeds of leisure and pools.
Fruit plants, clinging plants and vines that existed were kept offering visitors more shade, making this space even more welcoming to those who visit. The International Garden Festival of Ponte de Lima is an annual event occurring from the last Friday of May and closing on October 31st. From November to May, the gardens are dismantled and the new edition is prepared with all the bustle of construction.
The gardens selection is object of an evaluation by a jury after an international competition. Everyone is welcome to apply regardless of age, profession or nationality. The creativity of the authors and the expression of ideas is what really matters.
The International Garden Festival of Ponte de Lima won the International Garden Festival of the Year 2013 Award at the Garden Tourism Awards – 2013 North American Garden Tourism Conference – in Toronto – Canada. Nominated to the “Novo Norte” Awards for the category of “Norte Criativo”. The “Novo Norte” Awards is a joint initiative of The North Regional Coordination and Development Commission (CCDR-N) and the “Jornal de Notícias” newspaper.

This is a collection of small gardening arrangements, combining horticulture with art. Very pleasant walk for 1 euro, on the river Bank as well.

If you are here when this is on, do visit. The park is divided up into small gardens and each organisation taking part works within the set theme with some really original results. Entry is cheap...

Really liked the Festival, is the second time going there. The creativity of the participants is definitely something which stands out. I like the peace and quiet of the garden when there is not a lot of people visiting.

Lovely selection of gardens with thought provoking descriptions and some swings and sculptures at the bottom for the children.
