The abundance of flora here was astonishing, with over fifty varieties of aromatic, medicinal, and ornamental plants adorning the landscape.
Guided by the expertise offered at the garden, visitors like myself had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the rich botanical heritage of Morocco. From the iconic Moroccan mint to the elusive Atlas cedar, each plant held its own story of cultural significance and therapeutic benefits. Through immersive experiences that engaged all the senses, we learned to identify, taste, smell, and touch these botanical marvels, gaining a deeper understanding of their role in traditional Moroccan medicine and cuisine.
Yet, the Ourika Bio Aromatic Garden offered more than just a botanical journey; it was a sanctuary for the soul.
