As you can guess, there was so much inspiration, a limited colour palette of plants of green with a tiny bit of bougainvillea, but the shapes and textures were amazing. I visited twice and saw different perspectives.
Otherwise known as the garden of Yves St Laurent, although designed it was cool and tranquil and not "in your face" as many of his designs appeared to have been. (more about that in another blog).

    Ooooh Tracey sun, sun and more sun, just what a woman needs at this time of year. It looks really tranquil there, lovely colour pallette just broken up with the colour of the pots and those wonderful mauve bougainvillia flowers. Thank you for brightening up a woman's day.
