In Menton we knew there should be an exotic botanical garden hidden down a stone path. After some wrong turns and false directions – we finally found it. The path had a glorious ceiling of big palm trees and bamboo. Follow me down to the garden! You will not regret it.
Indeed it was lush and exotic, and the number of plants and paths were overwhelming. Citrus everywhere, Spanish moss, Tillandsia – and plants I had never heard of – among them Buddhas Hand and a funny plant called Napoleon’s Hat. I hope the pictures will speak exoticly to you!
Leaving was a bit sad. This was a very special place with much positive energy. Recommended!

Oh, how I love tropical gardens!!! Your photographs create a beautiful story.
Lovely … Isadora 😎

Oh my goodness! Amazing and YES! Exotic! I would probably take a few hundred photos if I had the chance to visit! 😮
Well, that’s the way I do too…

What a beautiful garden, it looks so restful! I love the bamboo in that opening shot, the Spanish moss and the tree ferns 🙂
I am glad you liked it too, Sarah. I was so impressed by how thoroughly everything was planted and exposed, with signs and stories of the different plants and their origin.
What a wonderful place to spend some time!
Thanks, Jo, it was. And the cat on the bench I posted some days ago was also from there!
😁🩷
Oooooh, how lush and lovely!
Isn’t it? A treat for me!

What a fabulous garden, so tropical and exotic. Thanks for taking me there.
I knew you would appreciate it too, Jude. Not many flowers, but very special plants!
Thanks for showing this unique garden Leya.
I am happy to share and even happier if you liked it!
A really peaceful haven.
It was – so glad we finally found it.
What a beautiful place!
I am glad you think so too!
Agreed, it’s a gorgeous spot and not to be missed on a trip to Menton
We were happy to finally find it!
Fabulous photos of wonderful plants. I would love a garden like that but not the work to keep it looking so good 😍
Well – that is exactly the way I feel…I know I could never find the energy to keep it in good shape.
I have decided that round IS a shape 😂
😀
Beautiful.
Thank you, Marie!
An oasis and a tropical paradise! These are fantastic photos. I can only imagine what it must have felt like to be walking in those gardens.
You are very kind, Egidio, but I know you can feel my excitement and joy walking there. Learning about new plants is always a treat too.
Wow, this garden is beautiful and so is your photography Ann-Christine.
Thank you, Anne! It was a real treat for me.

I never regret a visit here, A-C, and this garden is spectacular!
So glad you liked it too, Janet! Silent too it was.
