Gardens of Marrakech: A sensory journey through Morocco’s green sanctuaries

Few travel experiences stay with you quite like sharing lunch beneath the shade of an ancient pistachio tree in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. The gardens of Marrakech and the Atlas offer the flavors of slow-cooked local dishes and the scent of wild herbs. Furthermore, the calm of a garden surrounded by dramatic peaks creates memories that linger long after the journey ends.

The Gardens of Marrakech and the Atlas invite travelers to slow down and connect with Morocco through its green spaces. From elegant city gardens to terraced mountain landscapes, this journey to the Gardens of Marrakech and the Atlas reveals how nature, culture, and human creativity are deeply intertwined.

As winter gently shifts toward spring, Marrakech and the surrounding valleys are at their most inviting. Citrus trees begin to blossom, roses scent the air, and the snow-capped Atlas Mountains form a breathtaking backdrop. It is an ideal season to explore Morocco’s remarkable garden heritage.

The viticulture in Morocco and the planting of the first vineyards date back to the Phoenicians and the Roman colonisation. In ancient times, the major centre of wine production was concentrated around Volubilis, in the region of the present-day city of Meknes.

Morocco remains one of the last lands wild vines on earth. As early as antiquity, Pausanias the Periegete noted that the inhabitants of Lixus, a city founded by the Phoenicians on the right bank of the Loukkos wadi, consumed the fruit. Louis Levadoux indicates that ‘The Berbers do not neglect this supplement: when autumn comes, the people of Guergour go high up into the forests of the Atlas to pick the grapes from the trees, which they eat fresh or dry on racks’.
