Bill Groth asks which herbs are from the Mediterranean. Short answer: "most
of them, particularly the shrubby ones". Certainly sage, lavender, bay
laurel, rosemary, some of the thymes. Most of the herb books give plant
origin.

There's also a very interesting article on Mediterranean Herb Gardening by
Sue Goumas in Greece, in the autumn issue of The Mediterranean Garden, the
excellent journal of The Mediterranean Garden Society. Other articles in
this issue are:

The Villa Ariadne: an Edwardian garden in Crete
