What are "regional" species?

Submitted by on

There are a number of good reasons to grow plant species which are indigenous to the region where the garden is laid, but then: what actually are typical "regional" species?

Forest garden project

A Corfiot Garden

Submitted by on

What was wonderful about visiting the gardens in Corfu was the great committment shown by the gardeners/farmers to their different approaches to gardening - from a full permaculture approach to standard organic and a small community garden. Each type gave us pause to reflect before moving on with our own garden activities at home!
