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 Crete and a return to Frascati and Viterbo. The calendar for 2020 was very busy with botanical trips to Israel, the Greek island of Evia, and Tuscany; a garden tour in Sicily and events in the UK. Most have had to be postponed due to Covid-19 but the Israel trip was successfully completed sat the beginning of March and we hope to run some of the others before too long, so keep checking our EVENTS page and do join us.
