VEGETABLE GARDEN

The organic garden of Ecolodge

The plot is partly wild vegetated with very old native oak trees, one of the last ones on the island, but we have planted also a lot of fruit trees, citrus, nuts and plums. We have created two areas for vegetable gardens that we grow all year around and we have built a Greenhouse especially for winter growing. We have planted a local variety of grapes Potamisio, a wide variety of herbs like oregano, lavender, sage, dictamus, thyme and rosemary, more than 100 capers and prickly pears. For our vegetable garden we try to find organic seeds and produce our own plants, also herbs and trees that suit this dry and salty environment, we also use permaculture methods in growing our plants; Our goal is to have a variety of organically grown fruits and vegetables all year round that guests can enjoy picking and tasting. Also we produce our own olives, jams, artichokes, wine and raki. We also have a small chicken crew which gives us fresh eggs and sometimes meat!
