Ignored our guide's advice that the Majorelle Garden is small and costly, several of us made a go. What an colorful feast it turned out to be.
Majorelle Garden is a botanical garden named after the designer French artist Jacques Majorelle. In 1980, the fame designer Yves Saint-Laurent co-owned it. After Mr. Saint-Laurent's death in 2008, his ashes were scattered in the garden. Honestly, I was very curious what a garden would deserve Mr. YSL. Small in size, the garden contains mostly cactus and plants suitable for the Moroccan sun. The best part was the colorful containers and fixtures that greatly enhanced the relatively dry appearance of the plants, among the relax surrounding of Moroccan Riad. And, of course, the unforgettable Moroccan blue through out the garden.

The garden looks beautiful and exotic. Why the guide gives it a no-go?
ReplyDeleteIt's a small garden, the ticket was relatively expensive with the size of the garden, by local standard. And I guess the guide was not a fan of garden and plants.
ReplyDeleteI was happy I did go, and I wish to revisit if I go to Morocco again.
