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 main characteristic of this style of garden is the focus on hardscaping: patios, courtyards, gazebos, paths and areas covered with stones. The soft-scape comes from your choice of plants, shrubs and trees.
With some research, thought and ingenuity you can create a beautiful Mediterranean garden, using indigenous plants that are drought resistant. 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.
