The Mediterranean Garden Society, a non-profit making association founded in Greece in 1994, acts as a forum for everyone who has a special interest in the plants and gardens of mediterranean climate regions. The society publishes a quarterly journal The Mediterranean Garden and maintains a garden just outside Athens on a property belonging to the Goulandris Natural History Museum and generously placed at our disposal. The aims of the MGS as set out in the Charter were deliberately drafted broadly to cover all possible directions that the society might wish to go in its life. As an international society, the MGS has members in countries throughout the world and in many of those members have formed branches so that they can meet for various activities.

Make a Donation.The MGS has always relied solely on its own resources and has never sought public aid or funding of any kind. In a world undergoing a profound crisis, it must adapt to the current situation while continuing to pursue its aims; this is why the Administrative Committe is turning to those who are the mainspring of our Society - in other words, our members themselves - so that those who wish to do so may support the MGS, each according to his or her ability. If you would like to make a donation to the Society, either when you are renewing your annual subscription or at any other time, you may do so using the online facility here.

Latest addition: A new Branch of the MGS has now been created in Crete. In an article originally written for The Mediterranean Garden, Valerie Whittington, the Branch Head, explains how she developed a mediterranean garden from scratch on a windswept hillside. A garden in keeping with the Cretan landscape, which attempts to be waterwise and where plants from other mediterranean climates coexist with the original flora.

Recently updated pages include Greek Branch; Costa Blanca Branch; Balearics Branch; Southern California Branch; and Languedoc Branch.
