Mediterranean Style
In a true Mediterranean setting there will be little rainfall therefore this type of garden tends to have no lawn (as this is difficult maintain in hot climates). Walls are often rendered and painted white or brighter colours.
There are Mediterranean style tiles now available as paving that can withstand the harsher UK climate.
Plants that suit the Mediterranean climate need lots of sun and free draining soil so the soil and aspect of your garden needs to be suitable for this style of garden.
