On 420 hectares of protected arid landscape, surrounded by starkly beautiful mountains whose ochre colours fade into the horizon, a unique botanic garden is being developed in the Sultanate of Oman. It is a globally significant and intensely challenging project that will present the native plant species of Oman as vegetation communities, showcased together in their natural habitats. The botanic garden team includes botanists, horticulturalists, ethnobotanists and senor landscape architect and BLA Alumnus, Andrew Anderson.
