The Jardin Majorelle is a truly inspirational garden with amazing specimens of drought resistant plants set in a stunning design. It was restored in 1980 by one of the world’s greatest fashion icons – Yves St Laurent. Here is a larger view of the spectacular planting . Not sure UK gardens will end up looking like this but it is a great place for ideas – especially for Australian gardens who are expereiencing serious drought issues.
