Gardens of Southern Morocco
March 2016
During our visit to Taroudant, Marrakech, the High Atlas and surrounding areas, we visited beautiful gardens created by enthusiasts of many nationalities, some designed by Eric Ossart and Arnaud Maurieres. We saw the raw, gritty side of the country too, at a poor potters’ village, at a weekly market where pitiful animals were suffering, and in an oasis village where women were cracking argan nuts as part of the slow process to produce oil. Christine Daniels has written a beautiful report of this trip. Do look at our gallery of images taken by members and Guy Cheeseman has kindly given us access to his Flickr images of the trip.
