I hopped off the horse drawn carriage, feeling like royalty, and approached the garden. As I peeked over the tall brick wall, I saw bamboo towering high above the lush green abundance of plants. We bought our tickets and eagerly scampered into the garden. Thick bamboo stood tall above the walkway, cacti scattered aimlessly around the garden, and cement walkways going every which way. Tuck, Jones and I ambitiously cantered ahead, eager to see what this garden had in store for us.

The garden is beautifully colored with cobalt blue, and that is where the color Majorelle Blue was born (even PopPop snagged some Majorelle blue coloring from a local herbalist in Marrakech.)  During our visit we learned that Yves Saint Laurent and his partner bought Majorelle gardens in 1980, but kept it open to the public. When Yves died, his ashes were scattered throughout the garden.

    So well written, you’re impressing me! Also, who knew that about YSL, I know I love his lipstick but he really had impeccable taste. The gardens are gorgeous.
