Built for King Louis the XIV, the 17th century garden was fashioned from hundreds of potted orange and palm trees, arranged in an elaborate geometric design outside the palace‘s massive stone greenhouse, or orangery. To survive Versailles' cold winter, these exotic species were moved into the cathedral like orangery until the weather warmed when they were returned to the garden and reassembled for the king‘s pleasure. "Today the garden draws visitors from all over the world each ornament in this limited series of 1002 is hand painted numbered and dated by a master artisan in Poland and takes a full day to create. Crafted expressly for Smith and Hawkin."
