Majorelle Garden is a botanical garden in Marrakech, Morocco. The garden was created by the French painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and 1930s, and was later owned by the fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé. The garden is known for its exotic plants, vivid blue buildings, and fountains.

The garden features more than 300 species of plants from five continents, including bamboo, cacti, palms, and water lilies. The garden also includes a variety of birds, including peacocks, and fish in its ponds. The garden's iconic blue buildings were painted in a vibrant shade of blue, which was later named "Majorelle blue" in honor of the artist.

In the center of the garden is a small villa that houses the Berber Museum, which showcases the traditional arts and crafts of the indigenous Berber people. The museum contains a collection of Berber jewelry, textiles, pottery, and other handicrafts.

Today, Majorelle Garden is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Marrakech, and attracts visitors from around the world. The garden was restored and expanded by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé in the 1980s, and after Saint-Laurent's death in 2008, his ashes were scattered in the garden.
