Garden Tour: Two contemporary gardens in Spain

This week on the Horti-Culturalists, Stephen takes us on a tour of two wonderful contemporary Spanish gardens. Both are private and were part of the itinerary on Stephen's tour of the gardens of southern Spain as part of ASA: https://www.asatours.com.au/ in spring last year. Both gardens share some similarities with southern Australia: Mediterranean climate, warm summers, damp winters and the types of plants used could certainly work in this region. One of the gardens was designed by Miguel Urquijo and is in a particularly difficult horticultural climate, but as you'll see, it's stunning! And both gardens have echoes of the classic Islamic gardens of Spain's past. We made about a video showing a few of those here:    • Garden tour: Spanish formal and court...
