Bouknadel Gardens, Botanical garden in Bouknadel, Morocco.
The gardens span 4.5 hectares and contain fourteen distinct sections featuring plants from Asia, Africa, Japan, Brazil, and Polynesia.
French horticultural engineer Marcel François established these gardens between 1951 and 1961, creating a space for international plant species.
The gardens include a museum in Marcel François's former residence that presents the site's history and environmental protection initiatives.
Located 13 kilometers north of Salé on National Route 1 to Kenitra, the gardens remain closed on Monday mornings and during Eid celebrations.
The gardens maintain a vivarium housing reptiles, amphibians, and other species like snakes, lizards, and tarantulas for educational purposes.
