I want to purchase tickets to Monet's Garden and accessed the Ticketmaster link provided on the website. It appears that I must select one of two times, either 9:30 or 13:30. I am not sure what time I will be able to arrive the day I am going. Are the tickets timed or can I enter whenever I choose with a ticket purchased online?

Buy online direct rather than through a third party. You select either a morning or afternoon visit, but once in, you could stay in there all day, if you so wish, so long as you don’t exit. Two hours in the garden should be enough plus time for the Impressionist Museum.

Per the website:
A ticket that indicates 9:30am allows a single entrance at any time between 9:30am and 12:30 for a visit that may last as long as you like until the closure time at 6pm;
A ticket that indicates 1:30pm allows a single entrance at any time between 1:30pm and 5:30pm for a visit that may last as long as you like until the closure time at 6pm;

Karen, can you please share with me where you found that on the website because I'm not seeing it.
I'm wondering if I'm on the same website as you??

Karen's info sounds good, even if it's not coming from the official site at https://fondation-monet.com/en. I see that the site does direct you to purchase from digitick, Ticketmaster, or FNAC. The digitick version says, "Ouvert tous les jours du 22 mars au 1er novembre 2019, le billet est valable pour une visite le jour choisi de 9h30 à 12h30 ou de 13h30 à 17h00." If you're going to Paris' Orangerie or Marmottan museums earlier in the trip, you can buy a combo ticket there that covers Giverny.

It’s worth getting the morning ticket and then arriving as soon as it opens. I had about 30-40 min items of peace in the gardens before the tour groups descended.
