The gardens are located around 45 minute drive from Marrakesh (book a tour, take a taxi, or hire a car) just before the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. The site was created from nothing during fairly recent history and is one of the most unique botanical gardens I have visited. The planting and design has crammed so much in such a relatively small piece of land. Some really clever modern sculptures and features complement some really clever planting of indigenous and imported plants. There is also a good cafe and small shop as well as a great viewing platform. There is also an excellent small gallery of interesting pieces. If you love gardens this is a gem of a place to visit from Marrakesh. Very highly recommended.
