Majorelle Gardens, Marrakech

I spent an enjoyable week in Marrakech last year.

One of the botanical highlights is Majorelle Gardens, create by Jacques Majorelle, a French artist and currently owned by Yves Saint-Laurent. We enjoyed the garden so much we visited it twice during the week.














Well worth a visit!

 

Very impressive Gaz, I haven't been to Morocco yet! but it, like a lot of other places, is on the list.
I presume the Phoenix are Dactylifera judging by the silvery grey fronds, I always look at them as I think the mature ones are so stately.
The cactii look good too.

 

They may well have been Dactylifera although the colouing may be a trick of the intense light, as i didnt get close enough for a positive ID im not sure.

Marrakech is well worth a trip, we went over on an easyjet ticket so got a good deal. I'll sort out afew more pics and post them up.

 

Some nice stuff there T G.

 

lovely photos,plants,and sunshine, would love about 3 months there,TG :D :D

 

Three months would be great!! I posted some more pictures on this thread, I'd love to go back sometime.

My next trip is down to Cornwall so will enjoy the gardens down there as well.
