As you can see this garden holds reviews in multiple languages. Why? Because no matter where you're…read morefrom, it's impossible to view this masterpiece sitting atop the first cove of Costa Brava as anything less than impressive! First and foremost, you can spend hours, and hours exploring and still not experience everything this space has to offer. We attended a wedding on one end of the grounds (a beautiful area boasting a grand staircase leading to a gazebo with unparalleled views of Costa Brava waters. It was a waves slashing against stone as you state your vows, costal winds brushing your face, and gently wiping the happy tears of an emotional ceremony type of spot), and I couldn't envision a better introduction to the grounds. This is a spot where man meets nature; a true gem on the Mediterranean. When retuning I will certainly do so with a significant other, a family member, a kiddo or a best friend, someone I truly care to make memories with as these special spots are certainly for those special moments.

A small florist, nursery and garden shop near the railway station in Vilanova…read more There are two small shop areas at the front, but behind is a large courtyard and a glass house, all containing both indoor and outdoor plants. They have a large service for making up flowers for special occasions. Prices are reasonable compared with the UK, with a wide range of plants available for under EUR15. As you would expect, the range tends to a greater emphasis on Mediterranean and drought-tolerant plants, including lots of succulents and cacti. They sell a range of fertilizers, insecticides and other garden chemicals, as well as seeds, compost and decorative pots. It's actually quite a nice place to stroll around during a morning's shopping.

All I can say from experience is humiliation…read more I called this place too see if they had any soil for my garden. I was talking to them in Spanish, which is a language I speak fluently, and couldn't remember the word for soil, so I used the word in Spanish for soil on which a building is built upon. When I got there they were laughing at me, snickering behind my back. It was humiliating and I would not want to go back. That being said it wasn't very expensive. It's a small locale, pretty, with lots of different flowers and plants. I love flower shops, so I really hope this is just a fluke, but I don't think I'll be going back.
