Ourika Valley

Dar Taliba Education Botanical Garden

In Ourika Valley’s all-girl boarding school, we established in collaboration with ABDBO a botanical garden of 6000m2, which has hosted our environmental education program since 2014. The interactive workshops we facilitate are designed to develop the girls skills and knowledge of plant conservation, plant uses, permaculture techniques and traditional conservation practices. The girls help with the planting, cultivate thousands of seeds in the garden’s greenhouse, which they share with their families and friends, and, most importantly, reap the rewards of their hard work by harvesting delicious fruits and vegetables that last for months, sustaining the school’s meals for 130 resident students and staff.
