Trigono - The Triangle

Trigono - The Triangle

The triangle from the main road The Triangle was the first piece of land purchased and made an ideal temporay (caravan) home as it was close to the main road, which was quieter in 1999 than now. Comprising 700 sq metres of flat land, With 10 mature olive trees, it is semi- wild and is the garden of Trigono-Lamda. In December low growing plants cover the ground in yellow and by early May a riot of flowers of varying sizes and colours are in bloom, in stark contrast to the surrounding neatly tilled land.

Wild thyme, mint and dill grow, as well as bamboo along the road border. The bamboo is cut annually in September, leaving a thin screen.
