Mediterranean gardens
Sun-drenched planted spaces
Mediterranean gardens are designed around plants and features suited to the climate of regions bordering the Mediterranean Sea—hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.
They typically feature drought-tolerant plants like lavender, rosemary, olive trees, and cypress, often combined with gravel paths, terracotta pots, and stone walls.
The style emphasizes low water use and a sun-baked aesthetic: Their Mediterranean garden thrived without constant watering.
