Summary

Description

A partir do final do séc. XVIII diversas famílias açorianas promoveram a criação de jardins botânicos que, em S. Miguel, atingiram o apogeu na segunda metade do séc. XIX. O mais rico em espécies, segundo testemunhos da época foi o Jardim plantado por José do Canto (1820-1898) a partir de 1845, que, em Ponta Delgada, cobre cerca de seis hectares. Ao longo de mais de um século foi visitado por incontáveis viajantes, entre os quais se assinalam figuras célebres como o Rei D. Carlos, Franklin Roosevelt, Jorge Amado, etc., etc. As árvores, plantadas no jardim, dada a riqueza do solo e o clima, desenvolveram-se quase todas, e muitas por forma espectacular, chamando a atenção pelo gigantesco porte, beleza de copa, robustez de troncos ou ainda pela singularidade das raízes, na parte visível. Só para dar alguns exemplos, refiram-se, entre muitos outros, os “metrosíderos” ou as “ficus elásticas”, as “araucárias” (entre as quais se notam as “excelsas” pela elegância do seu porte e altura, alguns belos exemplares de “pinho do Paraná”, bem como a raríssima araucária anã), etc., etc.,. No Jardim existem várias construções: o monumento a José do Canto, o Palácio, o Solar do séc. XVIII, o Pavilhão (ex-estufa de traça Vitoriana) e a Capela de Sant'Ana (séc. XVII). <a href="http://www.jardimjosedocanto.com/" rel="nofollow">www.jardimjosedocanto.com/</a>
