The experience

We are transforming an old rural house in the peaceful village of Ait Imour, just outside Marrakech, into a space for eco-living, creativity, and community. Our vision is to create a sustainable garden and green oasis where locals and travelers can share knowledge, reconnect with nature, and enjoy simple rural life.

If you are passionate about gardening, eco-building, sustainability, or cultural exchange, this is a great opportunity for you!
