All Mediterranean gardens, big or small, should have a space filled with aromatic plants and herbs. Besides practical and therapeutic uses, aromatic plants create a beautiful garden that can be enjoyed with all your senses. Contrasting shades of green and texture play against each other. Springtime blossoms scent the air and draw pollinating butterflies and buzzing bees. And the purple blooms of lavender and rosemary add pops of colour.
When the sun sets on your Mediterranean garden, an opportunity arises to transform your outdoor spaces into a night-time realm of beauty. With effective outdoor lighting, you can highlight unique features and allow your garden’s charm to continue captivating you into its folds, long after dusk.
Have you ever heard of a cloud garden? If not, imagine a fluffy white cloud floating through the sky but replicated here on the ground using plants.

Dreaming of your own Mediterranean paradise? Picture yourself enjoying the vibrant fuchsia of bougainvillea while sipping your morning coffee. A lazy day spent poolside, the air heavily scented with lavender and pine, or sundowners under the shade of an ancient olive tree.
With 300 plus days of sunshine, there’s more to the Mediterranean island of Mallorca than just summer. Alexander and Jennifer Warren-Gash, design duo of Mashamba Garden and Terrace Design, believe you don’t need to head inside as the temperature drops. With good design and planning, a garden of winter delights – filled with outdoor Sunday brunches and fireside chats – is an enjoyable reality.
