Grow Your Mediterranean Garden In The City

Grow Your Mediterranean Garden In The City: Ancestral Wisdom of the Seas is a practical and reflective guide to creating a resilient Mediterranean garden in urban spaces, drawing on traditional knowledge shaped by dry climates, coastal landscapes and generations of everyday cultivation.

Moving between gardening techniques, ecological adaptation and cultural memory, the book explores how Mediterranean growing practices can help city gardeners create productive, drought-resistant spaces with limited water and changing conditions. Rooted in ancestral knowledge from around the Mediterranean world, it reconnects urban gardening with ways of cultivating that are both hardy and deeply place-based.

Alongside this perspective, the guide offers practical advice for growing Mediterranean plants in the city, shaping climate-adapted spaces, and understanding the relationship between garden design, water use and resilience. It also goes beyond cultivation alone, opening onto a wider Mediterranean way of living through design ideas and garden-to-table inspiration.
