From palace walls & hidden courtyards, sacred tombs to hidden riads; palm trees and gingers, citrus and roses, medlar, cactus and geranium abound.
And the gardens of the Kasbah contained a proliferation of plants we also grow at Glenmore; from fig, apple, pear & palm, to rosemary, lavender & thyme; pomegranate, cordyline, strelitzia, plumbago, myriad succulents including our Agave ‘americana’, and even our feathery peppercorn trees.
A gentle breeze carrying birdsong rippled through the midday sun with low grumbling thunder punctuating the afternoons. High up in the Atlas we were a world away from the bustling souks and medina!
