This garden, open to the public, is foremost a love story between Monique and Thierry. It is an ever-evolving masterpiece of theatre, with many different garden rooms to discover. This was one of their newer areas - a magical, lush moss garden created by collecting nearby clumps and transporting them here until eventually they joined.
I was there to capture the entire garden for WILD, with Noel Kingsbury, who declared it "the most beautiful garden in the world". I recall the morning light and atmosphere here being so divine that it was hard to leave.
