Introduction

The garden was built in 1924 and opened to the public in 1947. After the death of Jacques Majorelle in 1962, renowned designer Yves Saint Laurent purchased the garden and redesigned it. YSL and his male partner lived in the villa within the garden. After YSL passed away in 2008, the garden came under the ownership of the YSL Foundation. YSL's ashes were scattered in this beloved garden, and a memorial column was erected in his honor. The Majorelle Garden is loved by masters like YSL for good reason. It is said to be one of the most mysterious gardens of the 20th century and a little paradise on Earth. Upon entering the garden, one is greeted with lush greenery, unique tropical plants, spectacular flowers, and rare birds. Many plants are said to come from all five continents, making one forget whether they are in Mexico or the West Indies. It is truly captivating and awe-inspiring.
