ArtsNational Margaret River - Mediterranean Garden Design
Location
About
While we’re familiar with art and architecture as carriers of ideas and innovation, the design and cultivation of gardens run in parallel, making unique contributions to creative culture by including the ephemeral and the fourth dimension, time.
Mediterranean garden design is partly shaped by climate and by the flora that evolved in Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Elements of xeriscapes, gravel gardens and Paradise Gardens have added to the visual language of the Mediterranean garden, along with traditions in other winter rainfall regions such as California and South-West WA.
This talk illustrates some emblematic Mediterranean garden designs and traces the concepts of a regional garden style that has renewed relevance and global significance in current conditions.
