A few kilometres from the coast, in the Madone district, on the road to Gorbio, in a very hilly area and on the slope of a real ridge - a greenhouse - Lawrence Johnston, American, British citizen and French at heart, chose to make his home and create a garden where he could install the rarest plants that he would bring back from the end of the world.

A cypress-lined road leads to the property. Along this access ramp, one discovers magnificent species that make the originality and quality...

Particularly sensitive to the nature and climate of the Riviera, Lawrence Johnston settled on the Côte d'Azur, a fashionable destination for his fellow British citizens. It was in Menton, between the wars, that this botanical enthusiast laid out his estate, modulating spaces and structuring perspectives. He built arbors and staircases, modernized the cisterns, cultivated olive trees, fig trees and vines, and added sculptures... It was here, in this astonishing garden, that he introduced species from all over the world.
Now owned and preserved by the Conservatoire du Littoral, the estate cultivates its taste of paradise.
