Hi, I would really appreciate if anyone could help me by offering ideas for underplanting olive trees.

I have a place in Corfu which is one of the most northerly Greek Islands therefore it does not suffer the dry arid landscape as islands further south. In fact it owes it's verdance to the rains of winter.

The two trees at the entrance to the house are old, rugged and full of character of their own, but as there is no colour in my new garden this is the ideal location to add a splash.

We have just had a low wall built around the base of each of the trees, I'd love to add some planting inside the wall but I'm stuck for ideas.

The garden is in a rural location the surrounding countryside filled with the typical wild flowers of Greece.

I did think about a 'one colour' planting scheme such as lavendar hoping that it's shrubiness would compliment their ancient neighbours.

Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Eileen.
