Our philosophy

A landscape studio in the heart of Gràcia

We are landscape designers, architects and agronomists. We design, build and care for gardens, terraces, rooftops and vertical gardens with a Mediterranean soul.

A landscape studio in the heart of Gràcia

Natural Gardens was founded in Barcelona in 2009 with a simple idea: bringing nature closer to people. Our team brings together architects, landscape designers, agronomists and gardeners who work closely with each client to create green spaces tailored to them.

Our work blends beauty and function. We care about green volumes and the natural features of each place, and we listen to every client to create spaces with their own personality, whether classic or contemporary.

We design and build: the team that draws the project builds it. We work in Barcelona, across Spain and internationally, for homes, hotels, resorts, commercial spaces, communities and events.

Manuel Maíllo

Landscape architect · Co-founder and head of landscaping at Tinda's Project

«As a landscape architect, my job is to bring nature closer to people's lives.»

Manuel Maíllo is the landscape architect behind Natural Gardens, co-founder of Tinda's Project and head of its landscaping team. He designs every garden, terrace and rooftop to measure, aiming to bring nature to its fullest expression even in small city spaces.

He sees landscaping as a way of engaging the senses: colour, scent, texture, light and shade. His projects set out to create small outdoor havens of beauty where people connect with nature, such as the terraces of the Pedralbes rooftop, with ancient olive trees and views over the whole of Barcelona.

03Philosophy

We love creating gardens with charm.

We create spaces with personality, where every element (colour, scent, shade) builds sensory atmospheres that become part of the people who live in them. We pay attention to detail so that sharing these spaces turns every moment into something special.

04Getting closer to nature

  1. 01
    Listening — Every garden starts with how you want to live in it.
  2. 02
    Mediterranean — Species suited to the local climate and water.

How we work

  1. 01
    We listen — We visit the space and listen to how you want to live in it: uses, style, budget and upkeep.
  2. 02
    We design — We prepare the project with plans, planting proposal and materials.
  3. 03
    We build — Our team carries out the works: groundwork, irrigation, lighting, paving and planting.
  4. 04
    We care — We hand over the garden with care guidance and, if you wish, a maintenance plan.
