On March 6th, 2013, I created a new Facebook group called mediterranean climate gardening. I thought it might be a good adjunct to the Medit-Plants e-mail forum, but it became an entity in itself! (who knew!) The nice thing about this group is that once you join, you can see all of the group’s activity – new and old. And this content can be searched! Participants range from total plant nerds, professionals in the landscape industry, to novices (and everything in between). The focus of posts just needs to be centered on the challenges, problems, and advantages of gardening in one of the world’s mediterranean climates.
While there are some who feel their climate is similar to a scientifically designated mediterranean climate, discussion should not be about why that might be true. But those members are welcome to glean what they might find useful.
As of the end of 2016, the number of members is over 2,000!! And still growing! There are many members from California, southern Europe, Australia, and even some from South Africa.
