The vegetal composition of the Water Garden is marked by its abundance and the care with which it is sculpted. In particular, the extensive areas of boxwood, arranged in geometric patterns and dense hedges, stand out, lending a formal and perennial structure to the environment. These precisely trimmed vegetal formations create nooks and framings that enrich the visitor's journey.

In addition to the formal elements, the garden features a variety of foliage that contributes to a lush and inviting atmosphere, where the diversity of textures and shades of green combine for a remarkable and serene visual effect.
