The garden as a path
Entering a garden is like crossing a threshold.
The air changes, time slows down, and the senses open up to something that seems simple but is full of nuances.
Orígenes y aprendizajes
My name is José Morán, and I have been working in gardening and landscaping for over thirty years. I began my training in landscape architecture, but it was the daily work—the earth in my hands, the constant observation of light, wind, and seasons—that truly taught me to understand a garden.
I was fortunate enough to learn alongside Francisco Urbano de Mendoza, a gardener of enormous sensitivity and skill, from whom I absorbed not only techniques for cultivation and space distribution, but also a way of seeing:
Understanding the garden as a living organism, where every plant, every stone and every shadow has its purpose.
I also worked as a labourer in the parks of Es Cubells, and later alongside landscape gardener Sandy Prat, with whom I participated in the creation and maintenance of some of Ibiza’s most iconic gardens. Those years taught me the importance of detail, patience, and respect for the island’s natural environment.
A gaze that travels
I have continued travelling and observing gardens in different places, always searching for new ideas, new textures, new balances.
Every journey, every project, every client has taught me something. Because no two gardens are alike, and each person has their own way of experiencing nature.
Today, I continue to work with the same intention with which I began: to create beautiful, functional spaces full of life, where people can feel calm, a sense of belonging, and a connection to the earth.
I believe that a garden is not designed solely with plans, but with time, listening and care. It is modelled on accompanying a living being as it grows, with respect and perseverance.
I am a contemplative person who loves animals and the silence of open spaces. For me, gardening is a form of meditation in motion, an art that combines technique, intuition and patience.
Because in the end, the garden — like life — only flourishes when it is cared for attentively.
