Your Guide to Plant Care

Mediterranean forests, woodlands and scrub are a biome characterised by dry summers and rainy winters, although some regions may experience consistent rainfall throughout the year. Summers are generally hot in low-lying inland areas but can be cooler near colder seas. Winters tend to be mild to cool in low-lying areas but can become cold in inland and higher elevations. These eco-regions are uniquely diverse, collectively containing 10% of the Earth's plant species.
