The " Serre de la Madone " garden by Polly74
A " Serre " is a long narrow ridge of a mountain.This is the only garden ever created by Major Lawrence Johnston. It was built between 1924 and 1958. A list has been made of all the components of this garden, among which, about 1500 rare species could not really be well established and are still much debated upon.
Indeed, they are unique. Besides a " botanic-point of view " interest, the " Serre de la Madone " garden remains exceptional conception: it is structured with numerous terraces themselves suspended over stone low walls. Surprisingly enough, it does not overlook the sea just to highlight its botanic richness.
