The Exotic Garden cascades down and around a steep rock face at an altitude of more than a hundred metres. It has a micro climate favourable to cacti and other succulents and so the plants have grown to the size which is normal in their native countries, some as high as 10 metres. There are 7,000 varieties of semi-desert flora in this amazing garden spread over an area reached by steep paths and foot bridges.
Tomorrow we'll learn a little of the history of this garden.
Very beautiful. Weather looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit this garden my cacti are nowhere like that size it must have taken decades to achive.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely looks exotic to me! I've never been to a desert, or even a semi-desert, garden before. Looking forward to your other photos.
ReplyDeleteThe Exotic Garden looks like a delightful place on a warm Spring day, and a pleasant oasis from the high density of Monaco.
