Get that mediterranean lookIf your garden is very dry then you might consider planting a garden whose inspiration comes from a dryer region of the world. Certain plants instantly evoke warm, dry climes – lavender, thyme, rosemary and other grey-leaved drought-loving plants. Couple these with some warm-toned gravel, stone and terracotta pots to achieve this kind of Mediterranean look. Many drought-tolerant plants also are high in aromatic oils, so you get the added bonus of scent.
