Mediterranean Garden
A coast that grows by drought. Olives terraced in Jaén since the Romans, lemons trained on a Sorrento pergola, fig trees suckering in a Puglian dooryard, oregano air-dried in a Crete kitchen, rosemary hedging a Provençal patch, basil potted on a Ligurian sill, dry-farmed tomatoes in Basilicata, chickpeas in a Cretan field — a garden built on stone, sun, and the long patience of the perennial.
