How do you create a Mediterranean garden when space is limited, summers are getting hotter and water is becoming more precious?
This book looks at what gardeners and farmers in Spain, Greece, Morocco and Italy can teach us about growing with heat and drought rather than constantly fighting against them.
It brings those ideas into balconies, terraces, courtyards and small urban gardens: choosing drought-resistant plants, creating cooler spaces, growing herbs and trees, and making better use of water with simple techniques inspired by Mediterranean traditions, from impluviums to oasis irrigation systems.
There is also a more everyday side to the book, with traditional ways of preserving harvests, recipes, fragrances and flavours. It is as much about creating a place you enjoy living in as it is about keeping plants alive through a hot summer.
