About this web site
The “gardening in mediterranean climates worldwide” web site is an outgrowth of the Medit-Plants e-mail forum project. It is meant as a repository for information passing through that forum as well as collected from various independent research and collections.
The content focus of this site is specifically related to the mediterranean climate of the world. This rare climate is often misunderstood and because of its rarity, less is written from this perspective.
The Mediterranean Garden Society currently hosts this site but does not exercise editorial review. We are grateful to the MGS for their support and are happy to promote them through the pages of our site.
The content of this site is meant to be collaborative. If you have information that you feel should reside on this site, or be linked from our pages, please let us know.
Technical Information
This site is designed as simply as possible, using a ‘least common denominator’ approach. Intended to serve gardeners worldwide, accessing the internet from a variety of services and hardware, we’re deliberately kept to simple html and small screen size design in order to provide good service to all.
Some basic cold fusion statements, transparent to browsers, are used to assist in flexibility and maintainability. Few graphics are employed and only when they enhance the text content of the page.
Navigation has evolved in response to the observed use of the sites content and the stated content desires of our visitors. Meta tags are created for all pages to help identify content to search engine web crawlers.
