Over more than 40 years of activity, Horto do Campo Grande has built genuine bonds of friendship with private, institutional and business customers\u2014relationships that take on a special meaning at this time of year. At Christmas time, many people visit our garden centres\u2014Campo Grande, Quinta da Eira and Fern\u00e3o Ferro\u2014in search of special ornaments, pieces or inspiring decorative elements to turn their homes and organisations into places where the magic of Christmas happens.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It was during these visits, so special to us, that we invited some of our customers to share their Christmas memories with us, and also the elements that can\u2019t be missing from their Christmas d\u00e9cor this year.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMy Christmas\u201d by T\u00e2nia Ribas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

With affection, we continue to share our customers\u2019 Christmas, as they were quick to accept our challenge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

My Christmas smells of cinnamon and chocolate. It has the classic colours: Santa\u2019s red and the deep green of pine needles, the radiant glow of the lights in their steady “twinkle”, and a beautiful nativity scene from Barcelos, given to me by a dear friend. Our tree has magic: fabric dolls, snow globes, ornaments full of memories made by our children, and baubles with everyone\u2019s names: T\u00e2nia, Jo\u00e3o, Tom\u00e1s, Pedro, Mel and Bauer\u2014yes, because our dogs are always with us, even Bauer, who is already in heaven.<\/p>\n\n

The Christmases of my childhood were always with lots of family\u2014tables full, dishes and platters spinning back and forth, in a constant, joyful bustle that involved everyone. They were spent at the home of the most wonderful grandparents in the world. Now, they are too. They live in our hearts\u2014in every spoonful of chocolate mousse, in every shared laugh, in every child\u2019s smile. We always have a Christmas flower at home, holly, the big tree full of lights, the nativity scene and the carousel. Love is never missing. Christmas is Love.<\/p>\n\n

We\u2019re sharing a few suggestions inspired by T\u00e2nia Ribas\u2019 Christmas tones, available in our online shop and Garden Centres. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
