After its long winter closure, Claude Monet's garden and home re-open each April for the French warmer months. Gardens have been planted and trimmed, paths primed, prepped and everything made ready for the expectant admiring crowds. The gardens and home complex are open from April to November each year and are operated by Foundation Claude Monet.
