Meditteranian Forest Gardens

A Mediterranean forest garden is characterised by dry climate trees such as olives, citrus, feijoa and figs with a shrub and ground cover layer of hardy woody perennials including rosemary, oregano, thyme and lavender as well as climbers such as grape. Mediterranean forest gardens are best suited to hot sites with well drained soils but always moist soil conditions. Because Mediterranean species are tolerant of drought, they are well suited to drier sites than deciduous and subtropical forest gardens.
