WELCOME ...

Mediterranean Plants and Gardens is a not-for-profit association for people with particular interest in the plants of Mediterranean climate zones. We embrace concepts of sustainable gardening such as matching plant species intelligently to their environment and giving particular attention to economical use of water. Members enjoy varied trips botanising in Mediterranean climates and also visits to gardens, many of which are rarely open to the public. Recent trips include Cape Town and the Drakensberg, Catalonia, southern Peloponnese, plant-hunting in the Maremma and a return to Frascati and Viterbo. A report on our final trip of the year to Crete will be available soon. The calendar for 2020 is looking very busy with Israel, the Greek island of Evia, a walking and botanical field trip to Tuscany and gardens in Sicily. There are regular events in the UK, the next one a tour of the research collections in the Lindley Library. Take a look at all our EVENTS coming up and do join us.
