Beautiful experience a must visit
Planted in 2007 to depict a typical Mediterranean natural habitat, this area of the Gardens transports you to the sun-kissed landscape of Southern Europe. It was designed to highlight the economic uses of Mediterranean plants, the diversity of life the habitat supports and the conservation efforts needed to ensure its survival.
bellissimo!
This is a stunning evocation of a Mediterranean landscape, with cork oaks, olive trees, and all the shrubs of a typical hillside. Go in early spring to see a Judas tree is startling pink, or in high summer to catch the aromatics rising off the cistus growing on the banks around King William's Temple. In winter the range of shapes, colours and textures of the evergreen foliage is a delight - silver-grey santolina contrasting with dark rosemary and bright myrtle. Just remember that in Kew it isn't always as hot as Crete!
