Gardening can be a year round event in Cyprus, with perfect temperatures to grow just about anything you desire. With a bit of research, a good local nursery for advice and a bit more work you can have a lovely garden. Cyprus offer beautiful flowers of all kinds, a variety of fruit, olive, nut trees and variety of vegetables to enjoy. In many cases with very little effort you can grow a healthy looking garden to be proud of throughout the year. Of course a little rain will help! Whether inside or out, plants turn your property into a home and give it colour, character, identity and invites you and your guests to relax and enjoy. Is there anything better than sitting under the shade of a grape vine with cool breezes and eating fresh vegetables from your own garden? Is there anything sweeter than a ripe, dark fig bursting with flavor and warm from the summer sun? Or the health benefits of olive oil or the bitter sweet taste of artificial chocolate made from the carob trees? Carob trees are seen throughout Cyprus and protected by law.
