The English Garden was created in 1854 and has since been enlarged and embellished. Situated on the left bank of the lake, it is one of Geneva’s best loved and most lively parks. The large bronze fountain, with its superposed basins borne by naiads, dates from 1862 and is the work of the Parisian sculptor, Alexis André. There are also busts of painters François Diday and Alexandre Calame on display, as well as one of the sculptor August de Niederhaüsern, nicknamed Rodo. There are many pleasant walks and a children’s area and the star of the English Garden, the famous flower clock (see separate entry).
