“Torba preserves traditional native plants of the Gulf region. We have heritage seeds and plants, and we grow many other plants from around the world.”

Mohamed Al-Khater developed a fascination with horticulture as a teenager. While growing up in Qatar, he became fascinated by the different smells and scents he encountered.

“What intrigued me was the complex aromas that certain plants have. I was very moved by the fact that certain plants had beautiful smells, whilst others had pungent smells or no smell at all,” recalls Mohammed. “I realised that we have so many aromatic plants here that are native to Qatar. That realisation developed into a significant interest in the medicinal qualities of plants,” he adds.
