Swissie Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Can anybody recommend any good gardening/plant catalogues in France? Merci. Plants here in Switzerland are ridiculously expensive, so as I live very close to the border, could get them delivered to a friend in France.

Patf Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've had things from Baumaux, and Willemse are supposed to be good too:http://www.graines-baumaux.fr/75615/TOMATE+KOKOPELLI.htmhttp://www.willemsefrance.fr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardian Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 www.jardinexpress.com We've ordered from them for the 4th time this Spring - never had a problem. They also have a carte de fidelite scheme, which this yr gives us a €15 discount (we normally order about €100's worth between us and our neighbour). Plants are delivered by coli in a good stout box: cost of delivery is €5.90 irrespective of order size, but I see that it's only €10.40 to anywhere else in Europe, so you could just go for dlvry to your home.www.iis-france.com They do a good garden equipment catalogue: you know the sort of thing - peat pots, lawn edging, etc. Loads of stuff, but looks pricey to me.

Chancer Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Most people from my region of France go to Belgium to buy plants and save pots of dosh, as you are looking for vente par correspondance and les Belges seem so much more commercial than the French you might want to look there.

Pierre ZFP Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've been wracking my brains since you posted to try and remember who it was that I have ordered from in the past and found very good indeed. I had given up when the name just popped into my head. Bakker !!!They are based in the Netherlands I think but have a French website www.bakker.fr and even a Swiss one www.baker.chHope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissie Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Merky bucket Pierre. I wouldn't mind a Harley!I'll add another 'k' and I'll get some plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemonimo Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 There is always www.jacques-briant.fr/ who will bombard you with catalogues but their plants are a good quality. I bought three rose bushes (Greta) from them for my daughter's wedding bouquet as the colour was the same as the roses on the shoulder of her dress and I wasn't disappointed. Is it still snowing in the Jura Swissie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissie Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 YEP! Thanks for the link Gemonimo. Off to the Swiss Alps this week, to a place called Loèche-les-bains, a spa/ski resort. No more holidays planned for a while then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
