German Expertise
Hans Thiemann brought with him a deep horticultural knowledge, developed through years of cactus cultivation and plant acclimatization before settling in Morocco.
From Bremen to Morocco
What started in European greenhouses became a unique botanical journey, moving from Bremen to Marrakech to create a garden adapted to North African landscapes.
150+ Varieties
The garden brings together more than 150 cactus varieties, mainly from Latin America, carefully acclimated over time to thrive in Marrakech’s climate.
Original Estate
The collection first took root on a dry, mineral estate near Marrakech, offering the ideal terrain for cactus growth, experimentation and long-term cultivation.
