We may not have a green thumb, but we have an eye for great deals—and this one is sure to bring some greenery to your home. Tomorrow, Saturday, November 14, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Plantes Addict is hosting a plant sale in Croix-Rousse, with rock-bottom prices starting at €1—cheaper than a cup of coffee.
Over 100 varieties to choose from
When it comes to choice, there’s enough to get lost in the jungle: over 100 varieties of indoor and outdoor plants. You’ll find cacti, succulents, aloe vera, ficus, and many other species. Enough to transform a balcony into a little corner of paradise.
Looking for large plants? Good news: you can pre-order large plants by registering for the event. You’ll then pick them up right there on the day of the sale.
Our tips for getting there:
- Bring bags or boxes to carry your plants. They don’t provide packaging on-site, and carrying an XXL cactus under your arm down the hills is quite a workout.
- Pay by card or cash—the choice is yours.
- Come with an idea of where you’ll place them. Whether indoors or outdoors, the selection is vast, and it’ll be easier to narrow down your choices.
But be careful! When prices start at €1, the plants have an unfortunate tendency to end up in your shopping cart by the dozen. So make sure you have room at home—and a little patience to water them. In short, if you’ve always dreamed of an apartment worthy of the greenhouses at Parc de la Tête d’Or, now’s the time to take action: tomorrow, the Croix-Rousse will be filled with the scent of foliage.
