Join the American Horticultural Society March 8 – March 17, 2023 with AHS host Keith Tomlinson and Tour Leader Antonia Lloyd Owen for a journey through Morocco’s finest gardens. Highlights include visits to wonderful private gardens with refreshments hosted by the gardens’ owners. Visit The Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies, the only National Historic Landmark on foreign soil. The Exotic Gardens of Bouknadel are the dream and passion of French horticulturist Marcel Francois, classified as a national cultural heritage site. Old Fez, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a memory for the ages, as we make our way through the labyrinthine medina featuring the spice market, bazaars, and more. The Roman Volubilis ruins include a magnificent colonnaded shopping street, the Capitol, the Forum, and an impressive Triumphal Arch built in 217. Yves Saint Laurent’s Majorelle Garden, and Le Jardin Secret, an extraordinary garden dating back 400 years to the Saadian dynasty and loving restored by English landscape designer and author Tom Stuart-Smith, are also on the itinerary.
