António Borges garden, built between 1858 and 1861, is one of the main historical gardens on the island of São Miguel, representing a heritage value of great relevance in the history of gardens in the regional and national panorama. A paradigmatic example of 19th century landscaping, so directly influenced by the English landscape school and demonstrating the enormous enthusiasm for botanical collection, António Borges garden also seeks inspiration in the currents of the picturesque and the sublime as an aesthetic model for the creation of varied and somewhat wild scenarios.
