Where to Buy House Plants in Â鶹APP

Furnishing your perfect Â鶹APPian apartment would be largely incomplete without at least some plant life.

The city of Â鶹APP comes to life in the summer months when the parks, botanical gardens and cemeteries are at their greenest. Â鶹APPians love the outdoors, so when the cold rolls into Europe come October, one needs to bring the gardens inside.

A lot of house plant shopping can be done on a whim in Â鶹APP. Weekend markets and vendors along side the Seine often have a surplus of houseplant stock for sale. The plant shops in Â鶹APP are a different experience all together; almost like plant museums, beautiful curated spaces with experts on each plant ready to help you make a choice of who to take home.

Let’s buy some plant friends.

LEAF in Â鶹APP

Leaf is a plant lovers dream; it is a unique space, on the causes an unplanned detour of nearly every free guided walking tour that flows past it in the Canal Saint Martin.Ìý

The bright white walls in contrast to the pastel greens of the plants causes some sort of energetic catharsis the minute you step inside. You’ll be greeted by a knowledgeable staff member who will walk you through the shop while discussing your needs and wants.

One needs to keep in mind that not all house plants can survive in the same conditions. The staff at LEAF will take your personal living space into consideration when recommending plants to purchase. You’ll even be offered a cup of tea in the process.

Different apartments equal different light. While you may personally love ferns, your space could do better with succulents.

LEAF offers an array of plant species ranging all the way from said succulents to ferns and even small trees. Their hanging plants are the favorites of everyone who visits the store.

The variants range between very affordable through to hundreds of euros. The cost will depend on the rarity of the plant and its age.

Mama Petula in Â鶹APP

I like Mama Petula because it’s a one stop shop for both plants and pots!

The business is family run by some individuals who have a link into the house plant surplus world. It’s not your conventional retail store, more of a home sale in the back of a private residence.

aKagreen in Â鶹APP

Akagreen is a new and interesting concept store for the city of Â鶹APP.

Following recent studies surrounding the powerful, calming and healing abilities of plants, aKagreen have gone ahead and attempted to create a space where people can work amidst these powerful entities.

It’s a community co-op space with the plant shop located as part of the facility, mostly directed at freelancers who need somewhere to sit with their laptops every day. This is a popular concept in the neighborhood of Oberkampf where many Â鶹APPian freelancers live. Café Oberkampf is around the corner from aKagreen, another main hangout point for the locals here.
