Hortes, orchards, medicinal plants, fields and forests composed the ancient surrounding monastery of Refojos, according to the municipal description of 2021. The botica supplied other Benedictine monasteries, including Tibães. Beyond the church, there was land to cultivate and medicines to prepare. It is a historical portrait of the fence, not an inventory of the current plants.
The same description situates the riverside of Penoutas next to and in the back of the Monastery, next to buildings of agricultural origin however musealized. Water and work buildings help to broaden the look: the history of the set is also told outside the cult space.
The ancient fence is not read today as a single garden intact. The fountain draws attention to scattered traces. Distinguishing what the document describes from what a photograph allows to see is part of the discovery: a view of the square does not reconstitute missing gardens, orchards or medicinal plants.
