Past visits to inspirational places for garden and interior design include Madeira. Black rock and sands, a rugged coastline of this archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean. Here you’ll find fabulous plants and wildlife. The mountain-top Monte Garden is accessible by the Fenicular Cable Car.

In March the planting includes massive Tree Ferns, spectacular tropical Palms. An interesting plant with silver leaves and cones, Protea Leucadendron Argenteum, which I’ve never seen before is spectacular. Tropical plants and trees here are mixed with African Sculpture, a Chinese Garden and Flamingo Ponds.
