Jardim Botânico do Porto

The Porto Botanical Garden (Jardim Botânico do Porto) is a botanical garden located in the gardens of the Campo Alegre Estate (Quinta do Campo Alegre) or Andresen House, in Porto, Portugal. Since 2015, it has been a part of the Museum of Natural History and Science of University of Porto (MHNC-UP). In recognition of its conservation efforts and botanical significance, the garden received multiple international distinctions. In 2020, it was designated an International Camellia Garden of Excellence by the International Camellia Society. Additionally, since 2019, it has been awarded the Green Flag Award annually by Keep Britain Tidy, acknowledging the garden's value, conservation, and the quality of its maintenance plan. The current head of the Botanical Garden is the landscape architect Teresa Andresen, a descendant of the former owners of the estate, with Professors Arnaldo Rozeira, Roberto Salema and Barreto Caldas da Costa preceding her.
