I’ve been to the gardens at Mount Vernon, Monticello, and the George Wythe house, and this one has all 3 beat.

He had a lot of help... He sure did not do all this gardening on his own.

What a wonderful garden. This would be a good place to teach a Botany Class.
I was just about to complain that he didn’t include one of my personal favorites; The Wisteria Vine, when I saw a large on near a bridge.

Tulipmania had already occurred in Holland about 100 years before this (1636), so Monet very likely had an easy time collecting as many varieties of tulip that he wished to pay for. However, for obvious reasons, the Opium Poppy may have been in scare supply, even for a wealthy man.

"load of tourist"

Noted everyone bundled up for cold temps.

Texan doesn't associate Spring with cold.

But could just be old people who cannot regulate body temp.

It must be beautiful. But somebody photoshopped those images to a state of color hysteria.

ENJOY AMAZING VIDEO
In a waiting room at Brussels airport, master paintings were hung on the wall. In itself, this is already an original initiative. But that’s not all. Thanks to a millimeter video-projection system, a little cupid manages to escape from a painting by Rubens ( La Fête de Venus )

Visited there in 2015. Amazing place, and it meant so much to me having seen it, as Monet was my dear departed Mom’s favorite artist.

She would have LOVED it even more so as she was also an avid gardener.
