  • THE ENCHANTING GARDENS and ALLURE of MOROCCO March 22–31, 2022
    American Horticultural Society Travel Study Program THE ENCHANTING GARDENS AND ALLURE OF MOROCCO March 22–31, 2022 AND OFFERING THE EXTENSION: TAROUDANT’S GARDENS OF PARADISE March 31–April 3, 2022 WITH AHS HOST TERRY HAYES AND TOUR LEADER ANTONIA LLOYD OWEN OF SPECIALTOURS Dear Friends of the American Horticultural Society, I’m delighted to present another spectacular AHS tour, The Enchanting Gardens and Allure of Morocco, which I will also have the pleasure to host. Let me share with you just a few of the many highlights we’ll experience. Did you know that Morocco was the first country to recognize the United States? We’ll learn all about that at the Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies, the only U.S. National Historic Landmark on foreign soil. It has served as a symbol of American engagement with the Islamic world since the early days of our republic. Perhaps our most surprising revelation will be Tangier’s private gardens. These are homes of expatriate Europeans who have fallen in love with northern Morocco and its gardening climate. The private gardens on our tour are superb, each a surprise and sparkling with originality. Come with us to discover the Exotic Gardens of Bouknadel, the dream and passion of Marcel François, a French horticulturist. We’ll see why this achievement has been classified as a cultural heritage site. I’m sure you have a picture of historic old Fez, in your mind’s eye — its passageways, sights, sounds, and smells— gleaned from reading or hearing friends’ travel tales. Well, on our guided walk you will make your own memories for the ages as we wend our way through the labyrinthine medina featuring the spice market, tanners’ quarter, bazaars, and the exterior of El Karouine Mosque.
