MEDITERRANEAN PLANTS
Create a Relaxed Mediterranean-Style Garden
Mediterranean gardens have a timeless appeal, combining natural textures, sculptural plants, warm materials and relaxed planting to create outdoor spaces that feel inviting and effortlessly established.
A Mediterranean-inspired garden can work beautifully in Australian landscapes when plants are selected according to the local climate and the specific conditions of the garden.
At Doonan Valley Garden Centre, our changing selection of plants, pots and garden pieces can help you create a relaxed Mediterranean-inspired style suited to your outdoor space.

Textured. Relaxed. Naturally Beautiful.
There is no single plant list that defines a Mediterranean garden.
The strongest designs combine plants with different forms, foliage textures and seasonal characteristics while considering the conditions of your home.
• Herbs & Edible Plants Incorporate useful and aromatic plants into sunny garden beds, pots and productive planting areas.
• Flowering Plants Add seasonal colour and soften the stronger forms of structural planting.
• Ornamental Grasses Bring movement, texture and a more relaxed character to borders and garden beds.
• Structural Plants Create height, form and visual structure with plants chosen for their distinctive foliage and growth habits.​​​​
What makes a mediterranean-style garden?
Mediterranean garden design is about creating a feeling as much as selecting particular plants.​
The style typically combines sun-loving planting, natural materials, strong textures and relaxed layers rather than highly formal arrangements.
