Vera and Besi Besançon have created a green oasis with different garden sections like the Rain Forest, the Moroccan Garden, the Secret Garden or the Blue Alley. Several terraces invite visitors to remain and to enjoy stunning views and the tranquillity of the place. Bushes, trees, blooming flowers and greens provide a colourful organic basis for approximately 180 sculptures, objects and artefacts, all handmade by Vera Besançon.

The artwork is made out of various materials: clay, driftwood, concrete, metal, tiles or glass. Drawing inspiration from visionaries like Gaudi, Henry Matisse, and Niki de Saint Phalle, you’ll discover an array of delights: wind chimes, sun catchers, fire bowls, mosaics, terraces, and sculptures. Within the artwork, echoes of Namibia and Morocco linger – an unforgettable fusion. And at its heart, a deliberate celebration of native art from Africa, Australia and Mexico.
