The best shops to buy plants in Cascais

  • Shopping

More focused on outdoor plants, for those with gardens, yards, terraces or spacious balconies, Plantad’elas opened at the end of 2022 in the São Domingos de Rana area. Naturally, it also sells pots, fertilisers and other complementary products for plant care. There is also a section for indoor plants, but it is significantly smaller. The main difference compared to other shops is that this is a space run solely by the owner, Cristina Chorincas, who provides highly personalised service to every customer who drops by.

Operating since the 1950s, this nursery in Alcabideche offers both large outdoor plants – including shrubs and trees – and indoor ones, as well as all the tools and products needed for their cultivation and maintenance. In the 1960s, they even had a shop under the arcades of the Mercado da Vila, but today the operation is centred in the old estate, now fully transformed into a nursery and shop. They also provide garden maintenance and other related services for homes and businesses.

  • Parks and gardens

Although the weather still fluctuates between sunny and rainy days, Spring is undoubtedly one of the best times of the year to enjoy the local parks and gardens. After spending so much time indoors during the long winter, there's nothing more appealing than getting outdoors to breathe fresh air, stroll among the trees, have a picnic, catch up with friends, read a book in peace, or play with the kids.
