Writing in
1901, the critic Arsène Alexander
noted ’... the garden is Monet’ and
went on to describe the planting :
if you dig up the carrots and
lettuces (in a market garden) and
instead plant flowers, but just as close
together, you will get wonderful
results, providing you are capable of
playing on the floral calendar as you
would on a piano keyboard, and
providing you are an expert with
colours. It is this profusion, this sense
of flowers crowded together, that gives
the garden its whole character ...
