• Rosalía de Castro, Emilia Pardo Barán and Concepción Arenal, the protagonists of the Galician proposal.

Galicia once again shines on the international gardening stage by receiving, for the second consecutive year, the public award for best non-prestigious gardening at the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, held in London. A Galician proposal, titled As tres Grazas de Galicia, pays homage to three key figures in thought and literature: Rosalía de Castro, Emilia Pardo Bazán and Concepción Arenal.

The design, the work of landscape artist Nilufer Danis, combines Galician inspiration, feminist symbolism and environmental sustainability. It includes pergolas, fountains, curved paths, native species such as camellias or hydrangeas, and architectural elements from the 19th century, all arranged as an evocative and reflective space. This approach once again won over the British public, which once again placed Galicia as a benchmark in garden tourism.

• A participation with a significant impact

Galician participation is part of Turismo de Galicia’s strategy to promote its landscape and nature tourism offerings. Currently, almost half of visitors choose Galicia for its landscapes, and attractions such as the Camellia Route or historic gardens, like the recently incorporated Pazo do Faramello, reinforce this line of sustainable and cultural promotion.

With six participations already in this festival, Galicia consolidates its presence at one of the most important floral events in the world, positioning its gardens not only as a tourist attraction, but also as an expression of identity and living heritage.
