Lotusland
Lotusland is a private botanical garden tucked away in the hillsides of Monticeto.
Madame Ganna Walska, a concert singer from Poland and heiress, bought the property in 1941 and spent decades expanding it. We had a wonderful tour guide which was helpful to learn about the property but didn’t allow me the time to take many thoughtful pictures. It’s a truly remarkable place though and I’d like to go back when I have more time. I’m not sure what I can bring to plants as a subject, but a trip to Lotusland has made me more open to it.
