Grandmother's Day is approaching and you still haven't found THE gift? In anticipation of Sunday March 3, 2024, there's always the option of a "bouquet of flowers" from a florist in the capital. To help you in your quest, we've pointed you in the direction of those who cultivate the art of the sustainable bouquet. Follow the guide!
Oops! Grandmother's Day is just around the corner and you're still shopping? Commercial holiday or not, March 3, 2024 remains a symbolic day for all grandchildren. Looking for inspiration? Go for a sure bet, imbued with beauty and benevolence. We suggest the indestructible bouquet of flowers- but a committed one, please!
In response to the disastrous climate in which we live, recent years have seen the emergence of a number of eco-responsible florist shops working exclusively with fresh, seasonal, 100% French flowers.
Would you like to kill two birds with one stone, by delighting Mom while remainingenvironmentally conscious? If so, we've found three great Parisian addresses for you:
- The most Instagrammable : Désirée
More than just a classic shop, it's a veritable universe! This café-florist in the 11th arrondissement offers a cutting-edge selection of colorful ethical flowers, dried flower bouquets and even kits for growing a mini-vegetable garden on your balcony. To complete the Désirée experience, the shop also organizes workshops for apprentice florists! Bonus tip : the bouquet-wine pairing, a natural wine selected by David, the Substrats restaurant wine merchant, to accompany the bouquet of seasonal flowers.
- The chicest: Eucalyptus Paris
100% French flowers from sustainable cultivation. In this 16th arrondissement setting, you'll find generous bouquets, dried flowers and plants. Bonus tip: flower workshops organized at your home for a birthday or EVJF.
- The best: Fleurivore, "flower bouquets you can eat!"
Made from local, ecological and untreated flowers, the bouquets come with recipe cards detailing instructions for cooking and eating all the elements. Extra tip: a highly original floral tasting concept that will surprise your other half!
Many other eco-responsible and sustainable initiatives are being followed in the capital, such as"Du pain & des roses", an ecological and solidarity-based chain that trains unemployed women to become florists, or the"Urban Floral Farm" installed on the rooftops of Paris.
A gift that makes sense in the current context. Flower Power, but ethical of course!
