Gardens in Lebanon often feature a mix of Mediterranean flowers, fruit trees, and vegetables adapted to warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Urban gardens in Beirut and Tripoli commonly include potted geraniums, bougainvillea, and jasmine, alongside small plots for tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs such as mint and parsley. Suburban and rural gardens expand to incorporate olive trees, fig trees, citrus orchards, and flower beds with roses, hibiscus, and native wildflowers. Gardeners often use trellises, raised beds, and decorative stone pathways to organize space and enhance aesthetics. Seasonal blooms, cultural traditions, and local cuisine heavily influence plant selection, with an emphasis on edible and ornamental combinations. Lebanese gardens reflect the region’s Mediterranean climate, historical horticultural practices, and love for vibrant, aromatic plants.
