Support for José
For almost three decades, José Aguilar, our dedicated head gardener, has been the backbone of our beloved estate. His unwavering commitment and expertise have nurtured the gardens of Casa del Herrero into the breathtaking sanctuary they are today. While this flourishing landscape is a testament to José's exceptional care, extreme weather events have placed a significant strain on our resources in recent years.

To effectively manage the influx of rainfall and unwanted plant growth (and maintain the splendor of Casa del Herrero), we find ourselves in need of additional tools and equipment that are both efficient and environmentally friendly. We ask you to join us in our mission to uphold the beauty and heritage of Casa del Herrero by making a tax-deductible donation that will directly impact our gardening efforts.
Your gift will equip José and his team with the tools and resources they need to sustain our gardens and estate now and in the future! Ready to help us safeguard and care for this treasured landmark?
