The Bouknadel exotic gardens (Rabat)
We would like to remind here that Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Hasna has decided to make of Bouknadel gardens’ rehabilitation and restoration one of her priority projects. The first part (rehabilitation of existing gardens) is on its way to be finished , and these gardens would be open to the public during the first quarter of 2005.

During the year 2004, the renovating and rebuilding interventions have concerned mainly the edifices which are totally destroyed or extremely damaged.
The re-arrangement operations have concerned essentially the technical and complementary equipments (irrigation system, water circuit of waterfalls, spray system…), the building of a new entrance and a private car park for 50 cars, on the neighboring land recently acquired. Some examples of achieved works: To recondition the plantations and vegetation To make an inventory of the existing plants by the students of the Agronomic Institute, supervised by their teachers To prepare a personalized planting program according to each garden To restore the house of Mr. François (the founder of the garden)
The administration
The andalou garden
Congo hut And some other renovations and restorations related to the gardens of Brezil, hillocks, labyrinth, waterfalls, paths…

Some studies have been financed by the Moroccan National Office for Tourism (ONMT). Whereas, the works have been financed by the BMCE Bank.
