Pregetter`s Orchid Garden is dedicated to all those who love nature and plants, so don’t expect to find just another garden. Neither will you find “tourist attractions” such as singing and dancing orchids. On the contrary, we devote our efforts to presenting everything in surroundings which are as natural as possible.

Jardim Orquídea is a genuine exhibition. We have built a miniature forest where you will have the opportunity to admire a wide variety of orchids, both in their original form and hybrids, as well as other tropical plants.

We have also built up a symbiosis of plants, birds and fish in the tropical biotope.

You are welcome to visit our small coffee shop on the terrace, run by our daughter, Verena. From here you may enjoy a breathtaking view over Funchal and taste our Austrian and Madeira specialities.

Our firm was founded in Austria during the time of the Imperial monarchy and since then four generations of our family have been dedicated to the research and development of new species of a wide variety of plants.

We have made our dream of creating a natural jungle of orchids and exotic plants come true here in Madeira. You will find a little bit of everything, from spectacular flowers to beautiful minuscule orchids.

Take time to enjoy everything in a tranquil setting. You will find plants from every continent and be able to see blossoming plants throughout the year.

Anyone who tells you that there are no plants in bloom at this time of year or that the Garden is closed to the public, is simply not familiar with Jardim Orquídea.
