Visiting Claude Monet’s home and gardens in Giverny was a lovely experience. The overflowing flowers and pathway lined landscapes were inspiring. Walking the grounds and seeing the views that served as his muse for his iconic water lily paintings was especially rewarding after studying and visiting his work in museums. I found it interesting to learn how Monet designed his garden, drawing inspiration from Japanese prints, diverting water to create a pond, planting lilies, and adding a wooden footbridge. This visit has deepened my appreciation for the art of gardening and the beauty it brings to our lives.
