Garden of Eden, Private villa garden on Giudecca island, Venice, Italy
The six-acre Garden of Eden features English-style landscaping with rose trellises, statues, and extensive flower gardens overlooking the Venetian lagoon.
Frederic Eden, brother-in-law of garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, created this garden in 1884 after purchasing an artichoke field on Giudecca island.
Marcel Proust, Henry James, and Rainer Maria Rilke were among the distinguished writers who frequented this garden during its social gatherings.
The Garden of Eden remains closed to public visits, with ongoing discussions about restoration plans to preserve its historical features.
Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser owned the property from 1979 to 2000, allowing natural growth patterns to shape the garden's development.
