What is a Mediterranean Garden?

The idea behind a Mediterranean garden is to keep beauty and colour in your garden but with low maintenance and low water usage.

The soft-scape comes from your choice of plants, shrubs and trees.

Fig, almond and olive trees need no watering and can be bountiful with their fruits. Citrus trees such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit and tangerines all thrive in the Algarve with minimal watering, producing the most delicious fruit, and never lose their colour.
