Gardener in Monda
In the quiet village of Monda and the countryside around it, we look after fincas, fruit trees and sloping plots.
Monda is a small white village in the Sierra de las Nieves area, between Ojén and Coín, about 20 minutes inland from the coast at Marbella. A castle stands on the hill above the village, and the countryside around it is a mix of olive groves, almond trees and natural woodland.
Most homes outside the village are country houses and fincas on sloping plots. Gardens often include olive, almond and citrus trees, a pool and areas of wild vegetation. These plots need regular care to stay tidy, productive and safe in summer.
The main jobs in Monda are land clearance and fire prevention, tree pruning and keeping the irrigation working. Olive and almond trees are pruned in winter, citrus needs water and feeding through the summer, and grass and scrub on the slopes should be cut before it dries. We can spread this work across the year, so the garden never gets out of hand.

Gardening in Monda: cool nights and dry summers
Monda is cooler at night than the coast, especially in winter, while summer days are hot and very dry. Spring rain brings fast growth of grass and wild plants, which turns into dry fuel by early summer. On slopes, rain runs off quickly, so drip irrigation and mulch help the water reach the roots.
- Prune olive and almond trees in the dormant months of winter.
- Water citrus deeply in summer, especially young trees.
- Cut long grass and scrub on the slopes in late spring.
- Mulch around fruit trees to keep moisture in and weeds down.
- Protect young or tender plants on the coldest winter nights.
