The soil that suits vines suits a dry garden

Free draining stony ground over limestone is exactly what Mediterranean planting wants, and it is why gardens here can be genuinely low water once they are established. It also means the ground holds very little in summer, so establishment watering has to be taken seriously for the first two years.

The village itself is built of stone, with enclosed courtyards behind the street façades. Those spaces are cool, shaded and often paved, and they garden as containers and climbers rather than as beds.

Away from the village the plots are vineyard and almond, where the questions are usually access, boundary planting and what to do with land between the house and the working part of the parcel.

What gardens in Binissalem usually need

  • Dry planting suited to stony limestone ground
  • Establishment irrigation for the first two summers
  • Courtyard and container planting in the village
  • Shade over terraces used through the summer
  • Boundary and windbreak planting on open parcels
  • Frost aware species for cold inland nights
  • Almond and olive pruning on smallholdings
  • Green waste handled away from the property

Townhouses and courtyards

The village house behind the street.

Edible garden and orchard

Vines, figs and a kitchen garden.

Is the ground here good for planting?

For Mediterranean species, yes. It drains sharply, which those plants prefer, though it also means little summer moisture is held.

Does it frost inland here?

On clear winter nights it can, more than on the coast. Species choice should allow for it.

Can a village courtyard be replanted without machinery?

It usually has to be, since access runs through the house. Say so in your request, because it affects how the work is priced.
