In 1883, seeking a peaceful retreat to nurture his love for both painting and gardening, the renowned Impressionist Claude Monet settled in the idyllic village of Giverny in Normandy. Almost a century later, photographer and horticultural designer Elizabeth Murray played a pivotal role in restoring Monet’s gardens to their former splendour. Returning frequently to capture the evolving beauty of the grounds, Murrays intimate knowledge brings her vivid photographs and insightful descriptions to life. The vibrant blooms, lush greenery, and iconic lily pond echo Monets own efforts to immortalize these scenes in his celebrated works.
