A Mediterranean garden mixes earthy colors of stone and pottery with hot colored plants. We tend to think of decorative courtyards, mosaic tiles and vibrant colors with this style of garden. Paths often don’t use formal paving and the planting style looks very natural. Water is an important part of the space and is used to cool off the area. The types of plants used in this garden go a long way to making it this style.
