FOUNTAIN GARDEN

In the Enid A. Haupt Garden near the entrance to the National Museum of African Art in Washington D.C. is the Fountain Garden. Modeled after the Court of the Lions at Alhambra, the 13th-century Moorish palace and fortress in Granada, Spain, it is geometrically symmetrical and as with most Islamic gardens, includes a central fountain. A veil of cascading water streams down the back stone wall.

MONET'S GARDEN

Just an hour's train ride from Paris is Giverny, the small idyllic town where Claude Monet lived and painted. A visitor can walk through his home, studio and the magnificent gardens. My visit was in May, 2006 when the gardens and especially the irises were in full bloom.
