Estufa Fria - the Botanical Garden of Lisbon - part 1

Like many of you know, we had our closing dinner of Steemfest in Estufa Fria on Sunday evening. It was really amazing, but as it was really dark in the garden, you couldn't see much of the plants. So we decided to come back on Monday and see the botanical garden in it's whole glory.

So basically this is what you missed out if you only saw the garden on Sunday night ;)

Being a major plant lover (read: hoarder), I took a lot of pictures. I'll divide the pictures into two parts, starting from the main area, the cold greenhouse. The pictures will never do justice to how amazing this place really is. I've been to many botanical gardens, but this one is the most enchanting, it's build in several stories so you get some cool views.

We found this tiny fountain in one of the grottos, and decided that it's going to be a wishing fountain from now on. We threw several coins in for Steem price to go up ;)

Some daytime photos, that's fantastic.

Pretty different from the night time, right? :D

There is something about this that feel instantly refreshing and cooling, in what I imagine is a sometimes very hot Lisbon

You'd love kew gardens here :) @eveuncovered

I’ve been to London three times but somehow I’ve missed the Kew Gardens. Next time I’ll be sure to go!

getting there via the tube overground isnt too difficult i think. plus its not too far a walk to kew.
