Sanctuary Slimane is a space of healing, growth and creation. The property was transformed into a permaculture farm by Aziz Nahas, who has also rescued countless animals from local shelters, giving them a beautiful new life. Visitors strolling across the sanctuary will spot the sheep, goats, ducks, turkeys, chickens, donkeys and other animals who live peacefully onsite. California native Sarah Edwardes runs the multi-disciplinary artist residence they have created onsite, where creatives from around the globe come for weeks, sometimes months, to work on their craft, always leaving a work of art behind as a memento of their inspiring time at Sanctuary Slimane. A beautiful yoga studio at the end of the garden is used for classes as well as meditation and sound healing, with the occasional private film screening. They have their own gallery space and a fully equipped pottery studio, including a state of the art kiln, and their ceramics can be found on sale at the Sunday Oasiria Market, together with beautiful fresh produce from their organic permaculture farm.

Palm Orchids is an organic plant nursery pushing the boundaries of the Marrakech permaculture movement, acting as a community space for collective growing and sharing. Palm Orchids nursery was created in 1993 in Casablanca by Sadek Tazi, driven by a passion for the fantastic world of plants in general, and orchids and palm trees in particular. The nursery produced ornamental plants acclimatized to Morocco’s climate in order to diversify the already rich offerings that were available! Palm Orchids has introduced over 3000 new plant species to Morocco on a trial basis, reaching an acclimatization rate of around 30%. This means that around 1000 new plant species have been selected for production and are now available, including Bismarckia nobilis, Brachychiton acerifolius, Bauhinia variegata and much more.
