Serenity and well-being will become part of your outdoor space after you create a garden inspired by Mediterranean aesthetics. After all, this style is not unfamiliar to us: Portugal is one of its great references. A balance between contrasting colors, texture, and volume is the little secret to a successful composition, as Mediterranean gardens thrive on their peacefulness and simplicity!
If you'd like to venture out and try this aesthetic in your outdoor space, we'll show you 5 plants that will help you take your first steps.
Your Mediterranean garden starts with these plants
Olive tree
It is one of the main symbols of Mediterranean identity, exuding elegance whether in the ground or in a pot. It can withstand periods of intense heat and drought, making it perfect for a low-maintenance garden.
Myrtle
It is a classic rarely mentioned in Mediterranean gardens, but it works very well as a structural shrub. Its dense, year-round green foliage helps it tolerate heat and little water well, making it ideal for creating volume or small hedges.
Rosemary
One of the most iconic plants of the Mediterranean style, working well in flowerbeds, borders, or even cascading over walls! It has a dual use that pleases everyone: it's ornamental, but also aromatic, a great option for cooking and decoration.
Sea Lavender
This plant brings a special color and texture to the garden, with delicate flowering and good heat tolerance. It works especially well as a complement in contemporary or low-maintenance Mediterranean gardens!
Fruit Trees (lemon tree, orange tree, vine)
Fruit trees, such as lemon trees, orange trees or vines, are typical species of the Mediterranean climate that contribute to the strong identity of a garden in this style. Planted directly in the ground, citrus trees develop as structural elements, while vines are suitable for training on pergolas and shady areas.
Terracotta pots (an extra detail)
Warm and natural, terracotta pots help your plants grow healthy, precisely because of their porosity and durability! It's a detail you can add to your outdoor decor that will perfectly align with the calm and natural style of the Mediterranean.
If you want to start, start small! Define a pilot area, test the soil, see how the plants react to the climate and adjust the decoration before expanding. We are here to help you, send us a message!
