José do Canto (1820-1898) was a wealthy individual with a deep love for nature and a refined intellect. His passion for botany was unmatched, and he built connections with botanical gardens and nurserymen across the globe. Through these relationships, he engaged in the buying, selling, and trading of plants, enriching his garden with diverse species. Imagine strolling through his collection, filled with exotic flora from distant lands, each plant with its own story to tell. The dedication José had for his garden not only reflected his love for nature but also his desire to share its beauty with others.
