About this website
Floraveltrin is an independent, non-commercial information resource about the gardens of Marrakech and the wider tradition of Moroccan garden design. The site exists to explain the history, design principles and plants of these gardens in plain English, so that readers can understand and appreciate them better. It is a reading guide, not a booking service, and it does not represent any garden, museum, foundation, government body or tour company.
What you will find here
The content is organised into three main sections. The gardens of Marrakech page gives historical background on the best known public gardens. The garden design page explains enclosure, the four-part layout, water and shade. The plants page introduces the trees, shrubs and succulents that characterise the local landscape. The texts are general and educational, based on widely available historical and botanical information.
What this website does not do
We do not sell tickets, tours, accommodation, transport or any other product or service. We do not take payments and we do not collect personal data through the site: there are no forms, no accounts and no comment areas. We also deliberately avoid publishing practical details such as schedules or prices, because they change and should always be confirmed directly with the place concerned. If you see a page anywhere else that uses our name to sell something, it is not connected to us.
How the content is prepared
Each page is written to be accurate, neutral and easy to read. Historical dates are given as commonly reported in reference works, and descriptions of plants follow general horticultural knowledge. Where facts are uncertain or traditional stories are involved, we say so. We review the pages periodically and correct them when we become aware of an error. Corrections and suggestions are welcome by email. When a page is changed in a meaningful way, the corrected text simply replaces the old one, so the site always shows the most accurate version we have.
Funding and advertising
This site is funded by its operator. It may promote its pages through search advertising so that people looking for information about Moroccan gardens can find it. Advertising never influences the content, and no garden or business pays to be mentioned on the site.
Who the site is for
The guide is written for travellers who want context before or after walking through a garden, for students of architecture and landscape history, for gardeners in dry climates looking for ideas, and for anyone who simply enjoys reading about places. We assume no specialist knowledge. Technical terms are explained when they first appear, and each page can be read independently in a few minutes.
