Who doesn’t love the Mediterranean? Just the name evokes a feeling of escape, relaxation and, well, holidays. Yes, it’s the climate, the warm seas, the amazing food. But the plants really play their part too. Whether it’s iconic trees like Olive, Bay and
Fig, the delicately scented shrubs and plants of Lavender, Thyme and Sage or the flowing grasses and airy perennials such as Stipa Tenuissima and Verbena; all help craft an atmosphere for your garden that magically transports you to those warmer climes.
There are a number of key elements that elegantly combine to create your Mediterranean garden.

Lavender purple

Olive green
A relaxed planting style creates a sense of effortlessness in how the plants combine, creating a flowing effect which carries the eye.
Scented shrubs and herbs help fill the air with wonderful scents and aromas on a warm summer's evening.
A style that always has outdoor living in mind, with dining and seating areas furnished with rustic furniture, soft greenery and generous levels of terracotta.
We've worked hard to create plant combinations that not only evoke sun-kissed southern Europe, but also flex to your space (it's size & position) and needs (pet-friendly). This means that the plant choices may vary from order to order, to ensure the best results for you.
