Content with mere contemplation of the landscape artist was not going to - and immediately set about creating the perfect garden to your taste. A taste of the Monet was excellent!
The first step is a large area of 1 hectare of land acquired alley overgrown climbing roses. Then - a flower meadow.
In 1893, the artist bought another one, a neighboring plot of land - a swamp, “dilution” modest stream. Their own efforts and with the support of local authorities painter managed to create here a true Garden of Eden: weeping willow, bamboo, irises, rhododendrons, roses, nymphs, and the Japanese bridge, wreathed with wisteria.
