Northern Morocco’s first botanic garden will open nearby the cave of Hercules on Wednesday, June 22, offering visitors a window into rich green sceneries, flower displays, and picturesque plants.

“If there is a will, there is a way,” Malika El Alaoui and Paul Belvoir, founders of the Donabo Gardens said. El Alaoui proceeds to express her gratitude for this garden as a dream coming true, despite numerous difficulties and obstacles encountered throughout the journey.

She said the garden is at the service of the city, its residents, and especially students.

The 8,000 square meters garden imported dozens of plants from different continents. The imported samples were from countries located in Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The garden internalized alleys of plants, flowers, and roses will carry its visitors into a Moroccan Eden Garden-like experience.

Rare species of birds and butterflies were brought into the garden, which also includes spatial areas like cafeteria, parking and restrooms dedicated to visitors.

The garden reinforces the eco-biodiversity of the Rmilat region, and the Saluki Forest to create a diversified ecosystem that enriches the Northern region.
