"...barely an hour from Taniger's outer reaches, Berber women trot by on their mules, wrapped against the sun in red-and-white striped mendil cloths and shaded with vast straw hats. A shepherd wearing a rose-colored djellaba over his jeans scatters goats on the pitted, stony track that rises steeply...an Edenic landscape of plunging hills and valleys, ringing with goat bells and the distant crashing waves of the Atlantic... 'Every year we have two or three species that disappear.' [Umberto Pasti] explains of the flora lost to developments. An additional 180 or so are threatened - a sad fate for a landscape that once had one of the highest concentrations of flowers on the Mediterranean coast... Before an imposing new sports stadium was constructed over fields of native Iris tingitana , for example, Pasti and his team spent 'three winters in the mud' salvaging the bulbs that now blanket the hillside in a wash of Matisse blue every January and February...The gardens, which now showcase some 800 species, are exquisitely revealed in a new book, Eden Revisited: A Garden in Northern Morocco , with photographs by Ngoc Minh Ngo...[who] traveled a dozen times to document the place through the seasons. 'I think Ngoc loves this garden as much as I do,' says Pasti." Hamish Bowles, Vogue "Morocco has no shortage of great gardens...But...If you would rather immerse yourself in plantings that capture the mesmerizing, magical wildness of the North African soul and topography, you can do no better than to crack the binding of Eden Revisited: A Garden in Northern Morocco (Rizzoli), containing musings by Umberto Pasti and photos by Ngoc Minh Ngo. The book is a love letter to the property in Rohuna, a tiny village of 500 people on the coast between Tangier and Asilah...Ngo's ravishing photography is clearly less concerned with documenting a landscape -- although she accomplishes this admirably -- than with taking the reader on a lyrical journey through mists, golden light, pools of cool shade and glaring sun so bright it blurs the contours of plants and flowers. Her eye is exquisitely attuned to surroundings and conditions that help illustrate not just what has been planted but how it feels to be in a place where numberless species thrive. But this is also a garden book written by an accomplished storyteller...Pasti weaves a rich tapestry of myth and remembrance. He creates imaginary characters and fictional histories for the individual gardens, terraces and plants found in this eden...Pasti's description...encapsulates the mystical quality suffusing the property as a whole, humming through it like the millions of creatures that crawl and slither under the earth." Jorge Arango, 1stdibs
