Monet's garden consists of two parts: a garden and a water garden. The garden, also known as Normandy Garden, is located in front of house. It is rectangular in shape and covers an area of about one hectare. It used to be a vegetable garden and an orchard. Pine trees built a greenhouse where flowers and grass grow.
When Monet first moved to Giverny, he was very poor financially and lived only in a rented house. He later became famous and married, and price of his work rose until he bought a house in 1890. He hired five gardeners to take care of his garden. Growing flowers and painting are two most important things in his life. Monet himself said: "I have nothing but gardening and painting." from most common to rarest, can be described as a "mixed bag". Due to different flowering seasons of different varieties, thus from April to October, flowers bloom and wither every month.
