Gardening

Gardening in the Minervois

High temperatures and limited water can make Mediterranean gardening a challenge. Come along to our garden visits or other events - we share ideas and tips on what to grow, with a plant exchange each spring.

Who can get involved

This is a group for all gardeners and plant lovers, from beginners to green-fingered experts.

Even if you don’t have a garden or have just a small courtyard, you are welcome.

Where, when, what ?

We hold different events each year to find out more about creating gardens which flourish in our hot, dry summers : visits to interesting gardens and specialist plant growers, or workshops to learn about different techniques. On other occasions we organise botanical walks to learn from our rich local flora.

Some recent events:
Presentation on permaculture with demonstration of composting and mulching techniques
Visit to a no-dig garden
Talk on shrubs suitable for a Mediterranean climate
Visit to local olive producers with demonstration of pruning techniques
December wreath-making workshop
