Manolo Blahník lives by Voltaire’s adage, “If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, look after your garden.” His passion for gardens dates back to the early years growing up on a banana plantation in Spain’s Canary Islands. It was here in the lush gardens of his home where Manolo had his first taste of shoe design, fashioning footwear for lizards out of aluminium wrappers from his chocolate candies.
Manolo’s love of gardens is evident in his own well-tended garden at his home in Bath as well as the hundreds of floral and botanical-inspired shoes designed during his 50-year career. Throughout his travels, Manolo has had the pleasure of visiting magnificent gardens across the world. As part of our Smile Initiative, we invite you to explore where you can or take a virtual tour of some of his favourites.

Generalife Gardens Handwriting
The garden of the Alhambra was built in the 13th century on the slopes of the Hill of the Sun from which there is a complete view over the city of Granada, Spain.
One of the largest gardens in the world spanning 1,976 acres, the gardens of France’s Palace of Versailles were first commissioned by Louis XIV in 1661 and took 40 years to complete.
This chateau built during the Renaissance in the Loire Valley of France is known far and wide for its extraordinary gardens which include a water garden, sun garden, maze, kitchen garden, herb garden and ornamental flower gardens.
Renowned 17th century landscape gardener André Le Nôtre and architect Louis Le Vau worked in close collaboration to create perfect harmony between this 100-acre formal garden and the chateau in Northern France.
