We placed particular emphasis on planting native perennials and edible species. Each bed acts as a refuge for biodiversity: among the olive trees and fruit trees (pomegranate, pear, orange, fig…) unfolds a wide diversity of species, including grasses, groundcovers, and herbaceous plants. We chose vibrant colors —mainly pinks and yellows— that contrast beautifully with the deep green of the forest across the way.

Gradually, the color palette becomes more muted as you approach the small woodland that occupies the entire lower part of the garden. Populated mainly by mastic trees, narrow-leaved mock privet, and wild olives, we sought to create a sense of continuity between this space and the garden. This area will be developed in a second phase of the project. For now, we have built a yoga and meditation platform, nestled among the trees and following the curves of the pine and olive trunks.
