around Africa - Morocco

Morocco is filled with dazzling riads, kasbahs and historical
medinas. Part of its beauty lies in its architecture, use of colour
and design.

I visited Morocco quite a long time ago, but it is one of those places that stays with you as
being really special. Oriental design from doors to windows to buildings is so beautiful to
the eye, that it hardly needs any adornment in the way of plants. The use of bold colour
schemes, geometrical tiles, fountains and simple plantings create stunning gardens.

Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesh, is only one of many beautiful gardens around Morocco. It
attracts huge numbers of visitors every year. The French painter Jacques Majorelle conceived
of this garden as a sanctuary and botanical ‘laboratory’, and it is filled with exotic botanical
specimens from the far corners of the world.
