What is a Mediterranean garden?

A Mediterranean garden is designed to reflect the climate and flora of the Mediterranean region, characterized by warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. It typically features drought-resistant plants such as lavender, rosemary, and olive trees, which thrive in these conditions. The garden often incorporates elements like terracotta pots, stone pathways, and shaded seating areas to create a relaxing outdoor space. Overall, it emphasizes sustainability and low water usage while showcasing vibrant, fragrant plants.
