Travels @ 12: Moroccan Marvels (virtual tour)
Thursday, February 8, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Free
Morocco is a country of contrasts: The buzz of the medina and exotic souks in Marrakesh, hidden gardens, long views to the mountains and warm, hospitable people happy to share their history over a glass of mint tea. Enjoy “traveling” to this wonderful country with Claire Sawyers, Director of the Scott Arboretum, as she recounts the October 2023 horticultural tour she led for members of the Associates of the Scott Arboretum. They experienced a breadth of gardens, including intimate courtyard gardens with vibrant plants, colorful tiles, and splashing water; country gardens known as jnane (gardens of paradise) with an emphasis on orchards and decorative herb gardens; and a number of newly created gardens.
Travels @ 12 is an online series for plant enthusiasts to vicariously experience gardens and natural spaces throughout the world.
