The nursery.
Garinto is first of all a place: a nursery on the route de Bouskoura, where our plants grow before they come to you. And a team of gardeners who know what grows here, and what doesn’t.
Who we are.
We started from something simple we kept seeing. In Morocco, people often buy plants that grew up in greenhouses in Europe or Asia, came in by lorry and were sold without advice. Many don’t make it through their first summer. The chergui, the salt air on the coast, a south-facing balcony in Marrakech: nothing had prepared them for it.
Garinto is the opposite. Plants chosen for our climate, raised and acclimatised here with us, delivered in their pots, with someone on the other end of the phone who knows them. And when there’s a tree to plant, a balcony to dress or a vegetable garden to build, the same team comes out.
The place
The nursery is on the route de Bouskoura, south of Casablanca. There you’ll find the growing greenhouses, the shade houses where plants get used to the sun, the potting workshop, and the tables where we prepare your orders every morning.
You’re welcome to visit: see the plants before you choose, ask your questions, bring in a sick plant.

How our plants
grow.
A plant that arrives at your door has spent several weeks with us. That time is what makes the difference.
- Choosing
We choose species that like the Moroccan climate, from Moroccan growers wherever they exist: olive trees, citrus, pomegranates, herbs, dwarf fan palms.
- Repotting
When they arrive, plants are repotted in our own compost mixes, suited to each family: free-draining for an olive tree, richer for a monstera.
- Acclimatising
Several weeks under shade netting, then out in the sun for those that will live outdoors. They get used to our light, our heat and normal watering, not the kind they get in a greenhouse.
- The check before leaving
On the morning of delivery, a gardener checks the leaves, the roots, and that there are no pests. If the plant isn’t ready, it stays, and we let you know.
One team.
Our gardeners are employed by Garinto and trained at the nursery. No subcontractors, no middlemen: the person advising you on WhatsApp works a few metres from the one preparing your order.
At the nursery
The growing team repots, prunes, cares for and acclimatises the plants. They are the ones who decide whether a plant is ready to go.
At your home
The planting and installation team plants fruit trees, builds balconies, green walls and vegetable gardens, and fits drip irrigation before they leave.
On the phone
Our gardening advisers answer on WhatsApp, Monday to Saturday. Every one of them worked at the nursery before talking to customers.
On the road
The packers and drivers wrap and deliver your plants. They know a plant isn’t set down like a parcel.
