[2] Plants that compose this garden are mostly geraniums, ivy, lemon trees, prickly pear,[3] roses, agaves and weeds.
[4] The garden is made of many columns topped with succulent plants, gantries and ties decorated with thousands of seashells (oysters, scallops), various kinds of stones, coral, desert roses,[3] volcanic rocks and snails[5] that cover all surfaces.
[7] The decor is inspired by Spanish art, and seems to draw on the Antoni Gaudi's work[8] in Barcelona (Park Guel or the Sagrada Família).
[8] It was listed in the supplementary inventory of the monuments historiques in 1987[9] and has the label Patrimoine du XXe siècle (20th-century heritage),[7] and has been the property of the City of Lyon since 1983.
[8] The journalist Pierrick Eberhard described the garden as a "kitsch masterpiece" which reflects "the extraordinary expertise in the service of the fixed idea of work".
