I have written this book with the sole purpose of allowing others to revel in the exhilarating experience of crafting a garden that exudes both beauty and exuberance. I envision a garden that buzzes with vibrant colors, teeming with bees and butterflies, and emanates intoxicating scents that envelop your skin and uplift your spirits, even on gray days. Furthermore, I sought to share the joy of a garden that effortlessly comes together with minimal intervention from the gardener, requiring no intricate planting plans and minimal maintenance.

The traditional Mediterranean garden presents a remarkable concept: a garden that remains stunning throughout the changing seasons, regardless of the climate. It possesses the resilience to thrive through the driest summers, while also coping with dampness, rain, and even frost. For those who crave plants with a lively spirit and exuberant flower beds, the low-water, no-water method is ideal. This approach offers guidance on planting evergreen shrubs with robust, aromatic foliage, as well as low-maintenance plants that require no staking, watering, feeding, or pruning. The book demonstrates the power of tough love, surpassing pampering, in yielding a drought-proof and aromatic paradise within your own plot.

In creating this book, I have aimed to provide a comprehensive guide that empowers you to transform your outdoor space into a vibrant and fragrant haven. It encompasses a foreword by renowned writer and broadcaster Richard Mabey, accompanied by stunning photographs by Simon McBride. Together, they showcase the breathtaking beauty and aromatic allure of gardens that can be enjoyed year-round, regardless of the weather. So, embark on this transformative journey and let your garden become the epitome of a thriving outdoor living room, a sanctuary where you can unwind, relax, and immerse yourself in the splendor of nature.
