The station also has a memory made of flowers. The publication of the museum describes the gardens of roses and recalls the distinction received in 1962 as the most florida season in Portugal.

Next to the machines and rails, the garden adds another way of looking at the place: the landscape of a season includes what grows around it. The prize belongs to the history of space; it is not a current classification of the gardens.
