A trip to a pretty little garden

We are docked in Vernon 10 minutes from Giverny, where Claude Monet lived. Monet's father wanted him to pursue a business career, but his mother was a singer who supported Claude's in his chosen passion, the arts 🎨. Monet and his wife moved to Giverny with virtually no money and lived in a little farmhouse. Slowly, they began to transform the garden. He diverted the stream so it would run through the garden. From there, he built his famous water lily pond 🪷 and bridge crossing, which I have been lucky enough to walk over today. The gardens and surrounds are spectacular 🌹🌱🪻🌻🍁Read more
