Monet's garden

Monet's garden refers to the famous gardens at Giverny, France, created and cultivated by Impressionist painter Claude Monet from 1883 until his death.

The garden, featuring the iconic water lily pond and Japanese bridge, became the primary subject of his later paintings.

By extension, the phrase evokes any lush, painterly landscape of dappled light and flowering abundance: The overgrown backyard had become a kind of Monet's garden.
