)<\/em>, which is a typical tree throughout the Elche countryside. The Botanical Garden is designed by the landscape architect, Santiago P\u00e9rez, and it is built by Jardines La Lara company. To select the species, the criterion of economic efficiency has been used so as to save resources. To that end, plant ground cover\u00a0 and \u00a0pine barks, gravel and compacted sand have been\u00a0applied in large areas of soil.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\nThe\u00a0Garden area is divided into five zones. One of them, Las Dunas zone, is\u00a0made up\u00a0of Mediterranean wetland plants\u00a0such as\u00a0tamarinds from El Hondo,\u00a0 willows from the Segura creek, black poplars\u00a0and olive trees. These\u00a0serve as a transition to the zone of\u00a0La\u00a0Huerta, made up of fruit trees.\u00a0 Another zone is La Espiral de arbolado,\u00a0 formed by the most used\u00a0ornamental trees in the Valencian Community.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
El\u00a0Jard\u00edn Topiario is another of the zones of the UMH Botanical Garden. A selection of Mediterranean species\u00a0is cultivated\u00a0 and orderly pruned.\u00a0 Lastly,\u00a0El Jard\u00edn\u00a0Mediterr\u00e1neo\u00a0zone is made up of holm oaks, olive trees, mastics, gall oaks, terracings and stone\u00a0bunds which\u00a0\u00a0brough together the Agriculture and the Mediterranean garden.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
