Sebuah tinggalan yang ada di Garden of Eden






Garden of Eden pernah dimiliki oleh seorang berbangsa Inggeris nama Frederic Eden. Beliau membeli milikan tersebut pada 1880.

After the death of Mr. Eden in 1916, in 1927 the garden and the villa were passed to Princess Aspasia of Greece who further enriched the garden with botanical Mediterranean species. In 1919, the princess married the crown prince of Greece Alexander, who died a year later from a monkey bite; their only daughter Alessandra in 1945 married Peter II, the last king of Serbia. Aspasia lived in the palace and garden of Eden until her death in 1972.
