25 Celebrity Gardens That Are Inspiring People Around The World

From the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the White House Rose Garden, humanity has long made the most of its outside spaces. And for some celebrities, gardens are also a chance to show off: they might be stunningly beautiful, or bafflingly eccentric, or just have cost absurd amounts of money to create. Here are a few of the most brilliant and lavish of them all. Which A-list garden features do you want to steal for your own home?

1. Sofia Vergara

If you live in a mansion, then there’s a fair chance that your garden is going to be on the large side too. And when that garden is owned by a celebrity, then you almost expect them to light it up and show it off. That’s what actress Sofia Vergaras has done with her Beverly Hills home and the luscious greenery found just outside. The patio, chairs and tables mean that guests can enjoy their stay, especially when she uses fairy lights to turn it into a celebration space.

2. Oprah

Oprah also loves growing things, whether flowers or produce. She has a pretty impressive place in Montecito, California, not far from her friends the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that’s large enough to need a golf buggy to cross it. Then there’s her estate in Hawaii that supplies hundreds of pounds of herbs, fruit and veg across the island of Maui.

3. Nigella Lawson

British chef Nigella Lawson is more famous for her luscious recipes than her luscious garden, but a glimpse at her magical London home shows she has quite the green finger. A circle of trees and fairy lights surrounding a pergola create an enchanting centerpiece where you can sit and admire the surroundings. As for the flowers, Lawson herself described them as “tulips of preposterous plumage.”

4. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Delicate flowers may not be the kind of thing you associate with former wrestler turned movie star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, but his very pretty garden is immaculately kept. What may fit his persona a bit more is the time he tore out his own garden gate after it was damaged in a storm. Let’s hope those neat hedges didn’t take it too badly.
