The Serre de la Madone Garden Museum was created at the beginning of the century by Lawrence Jonston, who also created the English Hidcote Manor Gardens. It is a haven of greenery, peace and beauty clinging to the flanks of the hillside.
Rare species of plants have acclimatised between ponds and statues in gardens spread over 7 hectares of terraced land.
The Serre de la Madone (click to see the virtual visit) Garden is a place of relaxation and dreams.
Nowadays it is owned by the Coastal Conservatory. The City of Menton is responsible for the renovation and upkeep of the garden by means of an association created for the same purpose.
