Create Mediterranean Style Garden & Patio – Ideas please?

We want to create an Ibiza-style garden and patio. We have a large wall area Patio low buff / slabs sandstone color. Garden quite boring at the moment! Need for inspiring ideas in the design and colors? We have a A large lawn or shrub square side edges. A rather large gap at the bottom of the garden and beyond a greenhouse and shed We want to a path may form binding sites leading greenhouse patio and fall down the garden. Maybe incorporate a Bow somewhere on the lawn but to ensure that not all ideas? to break the boring big lawn. We have blue mosaic patio furniture. My husband has built a beautiful Mediterranean style barbecue. What Pots and containers of color plants should Patio we get? If we stick to the same color blue as furniture or use different colors of blues or turquoise?? Any other suggestions?

I use a lot of whites, as this building is a common color in the Mediterranean – where it adds a touch of freshness and tranquility. Otherwise bright blues, as you suggest, are great. Many countries have bright decorative tiles, so if you add these, this increases the overall impact. Add pots of terracotta urns and encapsulation in general. For flowers and plants, consider the Mediterranean Fan Palm – Chamearops humilis. This is hardy in zones as far north as the UK, once more than a couple of years. Try some Aloe striatula also succulent – it grows well in my garden, central England. Moreover, some of century plants are large, and goes to live if given a protected place, Agave americana: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Agave_americana4.jpg They grow around the area of medicine also notes frequently in the cliffs, etc. Add some colorful flowers too bright, although the bougainvillea seen around the MED is not as strong, but can be protected during the winter. Oleander is often found, with whites, pinks and reds to be common throughout the med: http://www.floridata.com/ref/N/nerium.cfm If you can afford an olive tree, even better, as this adds an interesting touch (the larger ones can be expensive). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive Otherwise, a grape vine would be great, allowing you to admire the bunches of grapes hanging from their wines – it could be increased by an arch or pergola. I would also add some Mediterranean herbs such as Origanum, which also added a bunch of flowers when it blooms, for additional interest. Hope this helps. Good luck! Steal
