The interesting history of Majorelle Garden

Influenced by Moroccan style and Islamic architecture he stocked the garden with exotic species that he had obtained throughout the world, the garden boasted variety species of cacti, bamboo, palms, waterlilies and much more.
 
The garden became world-renowned not only for it's artistry, but for its characteristic 'Majorelle Blue' color, which can be seen splashed upon walls, fountains, and buildings in the area.
