The vegetable garden of the Santar Vila Jardim Project, adjacent to the Linhares Garden, designed by the landscape architect Fernando Caruncho, is an area that brings visitors to a journey that combines traditional agricultural with more contemporary cultures recently introduced in Portuguese cuisine, in which the vineyard is always present and establishes the connection between them.

This landscape, which occupies approximately 0.6ha, is made up of 17 parcels with different types of plantations such as orchard and culinary aromatic plants. All areas are surrounded by vineyards.

These gardens are managed to follow the best ecological measures, favouring the methods used in organic farming, namely regarding phytosanitary treatments. The grouping of horticultural plants within each area respects the "good" fellowship of crops, as well as the sustainable rotation in succession of crops, and all traditional horticultural activities accompany the lunar calendar.

In order to promote the inclusion of the inhabitants of the locality in this project, four portions were attributed to local families who, under the guidance of an agronomist, practiced traditional agriculture in biological molds in these same areas.

The orchard is composed of 4 distinct areas: one with apple and pear trees; one with plum and apricot trees; the other with pomegranate trees; and a fourth with red fruits, namely blueberries and currant bushes.

The horticultural occupies 10 portions, 5 destined to annual horticultural and the remaining 5 destined to permanent horticultural. With regard to annual horticulture, regional varieties are preferred. Among the permanent crops the visitor will find asparagus, artichokes, strawberries among others.

The culinary aromatic plants, nowadays indispensable, are distributed in an area where the visitor can enjoy an explosion of aromas that will take them to a warm Mediterranean environment. Among others you can experience the aromas of thyme, oregano, marjoram, lovage and chives.
