We love this hidden treasure. Really happy to see it open again. Definitely worth a visit, make sure you buy a cactus. 🌵💚

Such an amazing experience. It has a store inside and a beautiful garden outside. The entrance is free and every Saturday there's a free tour portrayed by Mercedes. It's really interesting and funny. I highly recommend a visit if you're looking for a different spot in Madrid.

I visited the garden right before Christmas 2019, during a short travel to Madrid. We were able to attend the free talk by Mercedes on a cold Sunday morning. Despite the not-so-friendly weather, we enjoyed the three hours visit thouroughly. It was most interesting and entertaining, full of facts and anecdotes. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't particularly like plants, kept his attention during the whole time and enjoyed learning so many curious things. I don't know whether all visits are that long, but people were free to join and leave the group at any time (very helpful for families young children.) The site itself is beautiful, really pleasant to simply walk around, and the nursery is also very impressive and a dream for succulent-lovers. I particularly like the fact that they do research on several aspects regarding cultivation, propagation, etc. Not living in Madrid, I recently placed my first order online and I am extremely happy with it. Both plants and tools arrived very quickly and perfectly packed -in a cute paper printed with interesting facts about xerophytes, perfect for gifts!-, with the cacti carefully wrapped in plastic film to avoid damage. I'm looking forward to moving to a bigger house with more space for my plants and I'd love to hire them to design the garden. Really nice project.
