A lovingly photographed tour of internationally renowned writer Umberto Pasti's famous hillside
garden in Morocco. Italian writer and horticulturist Umberto Pasti's passion for the wild flora
of Tangier and its surrounding region led him to create his world-famous garden Rohuna where
he has transplanted thousands of plants rescued from construction sites with the aid of men
from the village. Planted between two small houses is the Garden of Consolation: a series of
rooms and terraces with lush vegetation some rendering homage to the paintings of Henri
Rousseau others inspired by invented characters. Surrounding the Garden of Consolation are the
Wild Garden and a hillside devoted to the wild flowering bulbs of northern Morocco where
indigenous species of narcissus iris crocus scilla gladiolus and others bloom. With its
stunning vistas and verdant fields Rohuna is a garden of incomparable beauty with the mission
to preserve the botanical richness of the region. Captured here in detail by celebrated
photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo the poetic beauty of this special and unique place is lovingly
rendered for all the world to see and share.
