The arbour of Mediterranean courtyards
Grown in North Africa since Phoenician and Roman antiquity, the Grapevine dresses pergolas and inner courtyards, giving shade in summer and its bunches late in the season.
Its leaves are also used in cooking, stuffed in many Mediterranean traditions, making it doubly useful in the garden.
"The vine gives shade before it gives fruit."
