Introduction
The Basque Country offers a mild and generous climate, ideal for enjoying a lush garden all year round.

At Les Jardins de Bittor, we help each owner reveal the beauty of their exteriors, in a personalized and environmentally friendly approach. Ready to plan your gardening season? Follow the guide!
Understanding the climate of the Basque Country for a thriving garden
The oceanic climate of the Basque Country is known for its mildness but also for its frequent humidity. This specificity influences the choice of plantings, the frequency of watering, and the organization of maintenance work. A well-thought-out gardening calendar allows you to enjoy a blooming and productive garden throughout the year, avoiding unpleasant surprises related to weather fluctuations.
Regular rainfall promotes beautiful plant growth, but it also requires particular vigilance against fungal diseases. To learn more about the impact of the Basque climate on your plantings, feel free to consult the recommendations from Météo France for the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Adapting your garden maintenance to these conditions guarantees a healthy and welcoming outdoor space.
Planning your gardening season: the task calendar in the Basque Country
Throughout the seasons, each task finds its place to make the most of your garden. As winter ends, it is time to prune shrubs and fruit trees to stimulate regrowth, prepare flower beds, and enrich the soils. In spring, nature fully awakens: sowing, planting vegetables and flowers, and regular lawn maintenance are to be expected.
Summer, thanks to the temperate climate, allows for enjoying the harvests and maintaining the flower beds while monitoring watering. In autumn, it's time for cleaning, protecting fragile plants, and planting bulbs to prepare for the following spring. For tailored month-by-month support, Les Jardins de Bittor offers a maintenance schedule adapted to each season.
Ecological gardening: tips and responsible practices
Combining aesthetics and respect for biodiversity is entirely possible! At Les Jardins de Bittor, we prioritize gentle and natural methods: homemade compost, mulching to limit watering, and choosing local plants resistant to diseases. This approach promotes soil life and attracts pollinators, essential for the health of your garden.
Looking to reduce the use of chemical products? Discover the recommendations from the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME). A simple gesture, such as planting green manures or installing an insect hotel, contributes to a sustainable and vibrant garden.
