Natura

The Natura Garden Centres was established in 1993 by certified landscape designer Jean-Claude Defrance. Before relocating to the Algarve, Jean-Claude, originally from France, was instrumental in the formation and successful running of one of Western France's largest Garden Centres.

Drawn to the Algarve by it's climate and natural beauty, it became the setting in which Jean-Claude was able to share his enthusiasm and passion for a more ecological way of landscape design, not only by using the classic indigenous variety of trees and plants that once flourished on the Algarve but also by introducing other varieties that would thrive in this environment.
