Natural garden
Choose a garden that is adapted to the Mediterranean region, a garden that needs no watering or a dry garden, as an environmentally friendly choice.


Jean-Jacques Derboux, landscape gardener in Montpellier (Hérault) offers you the benefit of 30 years experience of creating gardens and a wide knowledge of plants and techniques for dry gardens.


He is the author of "Creating a garden without watering" Published by Ulmer.
