CHACAOUETTE
Show house for indoor plants, sale and hire of pot plantsDescription
Mathilde and Manon are sisters in law and also best friends.
They both love plants, have never had formal training but over the years have taught themselves all there is to know about plants and flowers.
They finally decided to get together and start a florist-with-a-difference, almost a show-house for plants!
Chacouette is not a traditional florist shop: you go in through the entrance hall, to a lounge-cum-library followed by the kitchen, a bedroom and finally the bathroom. As in a show-house you wander from room to room having a good look. Each room has a profusion of plants, placed to advantage so that you can more easily imagine how they would look in your own house.
Each plant purchased comes with instructions on how best to look after it so that it will live and flower happily in its new home.
They sell a range of plants from the traditional to some which are quite rare, ranging in price from 3€ to 101€. Most of them are grown by local producers. The pot covers to go with them are new, but if you are on a tight budget they have some second-hand ones which are much cheaper. Re-using second-hand ones is also part of their anti-waste, good for the planet philosophy.
You can also buy on line at www.chacaouette.com, and here too the idea is not cut flowers but live plants which will make a more lasting present. You can also add a few tasty treats to make a very acceptable present! And of course the 'how to look after your plant' sheet is included!
Firms can hire plants for the office or for special occasions too.
Go and have a wander in their shop where Manon and Mathilde will happily give you good advice on adding plants to your décor!
