Plants
 

Hi all
I am coming out in March for a few days and want to buy a few plants to put in largish pots on my very bare terrace. Can anyone recommend plants that I can leave for a couple of months at a time on an uncovered sunny terrace. Would it be restricted to cactus type plants that don't need a lot of water?

My apartment is near Tavira. Can anyone recommend a reasonable well stocked garden centre nearby.

Any assistance would be much appreciated

Sorry I cannot help but I do find that if you go to a garden centre and let them know what you want they are often very helpful.

Regards

We have a couple of Yuccas and small lemon and orange trees (max height 1500mm) and they seem to survive with limited watering on an automated system.
I think the watering system was about 50€ from Carrefour.
On the old main road passing by Tavira there are a couple of garden centres..I can't remember where we bought plants from. The trees were from outside the market at Vila Real on a saturday morning. :)

hi,

we bought some plants from the garden centre opposite the Algarve shopping centre in Guia. Spent a good time at garden centre choosing plants, then up to shopping centre for lunch and more shopping:):)
