Mediterranean Water Garden

- Alonei Abba, Galilee, Israel

In continuation of my blog from September 2013 where I introduced this project of a private garden in Alonei Abba in the Galilee region of Israel - here are pictures of the completed garden. The project started a year ago with an overall plan of the layout.

Following the client's wish for a water feature I designed the garden around a water course which utilized the natural slope of the site. The design of the water course also includes two ponds and a wetland area which functions as a biological filter.

The garden design  includes a rich variety of Mediterranean vegetation, paved paths, local rock placements and a gravel garden. The design was skillfully implemented by Guy Spielman.
