Monet's Garden, Giverny

Monet's Garden

Part of Claude Monet's famous garden in Giverny, France.

Monet's Garden is actually composed of two parts - one is the orchard and the other the Water Garden.

The land is divided into flowerbeds where flower clumps of different heights create volume. Fruit trees or ornamental trees dominate the climbing roses, the long -stemmed hollyhocks and the coloured banks of annuals. Monet mixed the simplest flowers (daisies and poppies) with the most rare varieties.

The water garden is full of asymmetries and curves. It is inspired by the Japanese gardens that Monet knew from the prints he collected avidly.
