The garden has been open to the public sinced 1947. Since 1980 the garden has been owned by Yves Saint Laurent -one of the greatest haute couture designers- and his lifetime friend Pierre Bergé. After Yves Saint Laurent died in 2008, his ashes were scattered in the Majorelle Garden
From Wikipedia:
The Majorelle Garden (Arabic: حديقة ماجوريل) is a botanical garden in Marrakech, Morocco. It was designed by the expatriate French artist Jacques Majorelle in 1924, during the colonial period when Morocco was occupied by France. Though Majorelle's art is largely forgotten today -- his oeuvre was made up of gentlemanly orientalist watercolors -- the garden he created is his creative masterpiece. A special shade of bold cobalt blue which he used extensively in the garden and its buildings is named after him, Majorelle bleu.
The garden has been open to the public since 1947. Since 1980 the garden has been owned by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé.
