A non-profit making association, Mediterranean Gardening France was founded in March 2014 by the merger of the two French branches of the Mediterranean Garden Society. It exists to bring together all who are interested in Mediterranean plants, gardens and gardening both in France and elsewhere. We organise activities throughout Mediterranean France from the Pyrénées to the Côte d’Azur.
