1. Tropical Garden – Gardens by the Bay, Singapore
One of the most breathtaking botanical gardens in the world is the nature park Gardens by the Bay, a futuristic green area with tree-like, flower dome structures towering over 250 hectares of beautiful scenery.
Inspired by the vision of transforming Singapore into a “City in a Garden,” it features diverse attractions such as the futuristic Supertree Grove, the Flower Dome, and the Cloud Forest conservatory. These gardens showcase an impressive array of tropical plants and flowers, providing visitors with an immersive experience of nature’s beauty and the marvels of modern horticultural engineering. You would’ve never known this tropical garden was in a bustling metropolis!
The Flower Dome in the Gardens by the Bay houses an enchanting trail featuring diverse ecosystems from Mediterranean olive groves to an arid zone where otherworldly baobab trees thrive to lush corners where stargazer lilies fragrance the air with their sweet scent.
Our Tropical Gaden print captures the lush, vibrant essence of tropical landscapes and the rejuvenating feeling of standing in a tropical garden on a bright day. Featuring stargazer lilies and other vibrant blooms, this botanic print evokes a sense of natural beauty, bringing vitality and warmth of tropical gardens into your home.
2. Empress Gardens – Keukenhof, Netherlands
Romantic, vibrant, and elegant—the Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse, Netherlands is perfectly reflected in our Empress Gardens botanic print. Rows and rows of tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths instill an awe-inspiring grandeur, which we aimed to capture in our floral print.
Keukenhof Gardens is lovingly known as the “Garden of Europe,” although its literal translation is “Kitchen Garden.” Originally part of a royal estate in the 15th century, it was used for hunting and growing kitchen herbs, but it was transformed in the mid-1850s into the English-style garden by landscape architects Jan David Zocher and his son Louis Paul Zocher, known for their work on Amsterdam’s Vondelpark.
In 1949, a group of Dutch bulb growers had the fantastic idea of using the estate to as an open-air flower exhibition—it became the hotspot, as it were, for presenting hybrids and promoting Netherlands as the premiere exporter of flowers.
Our Empress Gardens botanical print embraces this feeling of being in lush, semi-secret garden surrounded by palace walls adorned in flowering vines. This floral print features orange tulips, golden daffodils, and violet irises framed by a delicate lattice print, all rendered against a pristine white ground. As the Keukenhof proudly showcases the flowers of its country, we proudly showcase this botanic print in honor of nature’s beauty.
3. English Gardens – Great Dixter House & Gardens
Great Dixter House and Gardens, located in East Sussex, England, is a quintessential example of English country gardening. Originally the family home of gardener and writer Christopher Lloyd, the gardens are renowned for their vibrant and dynamic planting schemes. A notable feature is the extensive use of English wildflowers, which are thoughtfully integrated into traditional garden settings. These wildflowers contribute to the garden’s naturalistic and eclectic charm, promoting biodiversity and creating a beautiful tapestry that changes with the seasons.
Foxtrots, bluebells, cottage pinks, and primroses delight in our vintage botanical print rendered in an utterly charming blue and white color scheme. Like the verdant Dixter garden, this block print overflows with floral abundance.
4. Dahlia Daydreams – Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, USA
Longwood Gardens, located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, is renowned for its extensive and vibrant dahlia displays. Spanning over 1,000 acres, this premier botanical garden features a dazzling array of dahlia varieties, showcased in both formal and informal garden settings.

5. Gardens of Versailles – Château de Versailles, France
The Gardens of Versailles, designed by André Le Nôtre in the 17th century, are a masterpiece of French formal garden design. Spanning over 800 hectares, they feature meticulously manicured lawns, geometric flower beds, and a grand network of fountains and sculptures.
One of the garden’s defining features is its use of intricate scrolling motifs known as parterre designs and ornate topiaries. These motifs, inspired by classical and baroque art, create a sense of elegance and grandeur, reflecting the opulence of the palace and the artistic sophistication of the era.
Resembling embroidery patterns, these designs are made from low hedges and colorful flowers arranged in elaborate, symmetrical patterns. The parterres de broderie add to the formal and ornate aesthetic of the gardens, showcasing the artistry and precision characteristic of French formal garden design.
Our Gardens of Versailles print is a gorgeous depiction of the scrolling parterre design. And ours is embellished with delicate foliage and tiny buds, rendered in a luxe yellow gold and silver-grey palette.
6. Woodland Ferns – Pukekara Park, New Zealand
Pukekura Park, located in New Plymouth, New Zealand, is a lush and expansive botanical garden known for its diverse plant collections and picturesque landscapes. One of the park’s highlights is its impressive array of native ferns. These ferns, including iconic species like the silver fern and tree ferns, thrive in the park’s temperate rainforest environment, showcasing the rich biodiversity of New Zealand’s native flora.
The fernery and display houses within Pukekura Park offer visitors an immersive experience, highlighting the delicate beauty and ecological importance of these ancient plants.

In a color palette of sage green, white, and light blue, this vintage botanical print soothes the senses. When used in the home, it transports you to New Zealand’s serene fern forests.
7. Istanbul CP – Le Jardin Majorelle, Marrakesh, Morocco
Le Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesh is a vibrant oasis, famed for its striking cobalt-blue buildings and lush, exotic plants. Originally designed by French painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s, the garden is a mesmerizing blend of art and nature, with towering cacti, vibrant bougainvillea, and serene water features.
Now a beloved destination, it was lovingly restored by fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé, making it a must-visit spot for anyone seeking inspiration and tranquility in the heart of Morocco.
Elegant palms tower above bushes and cacti in the lush garden, which reminds us of a complementary print to our collection Istanbul.
Our exotic and elegant print showcases the emblematic palm—evocative of paradise, relaxation ,and abundance. We captured the golden yellow of the Moroccan sun and sand, as well as the light blue skies and deep indigo seas. Blue is also the color of choice for majorelle ceramics and crafts in Morocco.

In that sense, this print of riotous wildflowers in beautiful colors perfectly captures the essence of the Lady Bird botanical garden. Patterned on a ground of azure blue, it takes you to an open field of wildflowers in the spring, where birds are buzzing and butterflies are flitting about.
