“For many years, I have found in Majorelle Garden an inexhaustible source of inspiration and I have often dreamed of its unique colours”. Yves Saint Laurent
In 1923 the French artist Jacques Majorelle purchased a four-acre plot on the border of a palm grove in Marrakech and constructed the home known as Villa Oasis in the Moroccan style. Over time he purchased additional land, extending his property to 10 acres, and began planting a luxuriant garden which would become known as Jardin Majorelle. He would develop the garden for almost forty years. Photograph Viault. 8
