The garden was created in 1924-1939 by Lawrence Johnston, creator of the celebrated Hidcote Manor Garden, on a hillside in the Gorbio Valley with farmhouse to which Johnston added two large wings. Johnston traveled the world collecting plants, and Serre de la Madone offered an excellent site for plants from subtropical regions. Over the years he created a series of terraces among old olive trees, planted and tended by twelve gardeners.
