Meet our professionals
It all started with a passion for the garden and landscaping, to create customer-tailored outdoor spaces for high-end homes, businesses, and public spaces.
Vital Gardens, Lda. is a landscaping and gardening company, established in Carvoeiro in 2007. The founder Jan L. Steenken specializes in outdoor living and landscape design. He is German, born in the Algarve, where he lives today.
After obtaining his qualifications in Germany and having worked in a large landscape gardening company in Germany, where he gained experience in garden and landscape design, working with a large variety of plants and materials, he furthers his knowledge of exotic plants, resources and irrigation systems in Australia & California.
This wide-ranging professional experience is of great benefit to Jan Steenken’s garden design in the Algarve.
