The Portugal Branch of The Mediterranean Garden Society invites you to join them in experiencing the magnificent and diverse flora of the Algarve in the midst of the spring flowering season. Lecture topics will cover the scientific background for appropriate plant choices and the creation and day-to-day management of a natural and waterwise garden.

The Spring Conference will be an opportunity to see some notable local private gardens and the remarkable Hapimag Algarvean native plant Garden, hear the story of how it was made, and learn about the plants used in the garden.
There will be a presentation by the Gardens Manager, Marilyn Kahan. A new specialist native plant nursery will have plant displays & sales. This area, the most south west part of Europe, is home to a diverse range of Mediterranean plant families, the varied geology and soils giving a unique and special character to the region.
Information on local nurseries and garden centres, recommended walks & good locations to view wild flowers will be distributed at the conference.
