Ornamental nursery in Provence

A Mediterranean plant bought from a garden centre, raised under glass in northern Europe, will not last a summer in the Alpilles. Our nursery holds plants grown outdoors, acclimatised to the mistral and to limestone soil, chosen for how they hold up and how they look.

Our stock covers the species that define Provence: olives as multi-stems or specimen trees (Aglandau, Salonenque and Verdale varieties), Italian cypress, oleanders, Lavandula angustifolia and intermedia, rosemary (including Tuscan Blue), cistus (purpureus, salviifolius), santolina, abelia, perovskia, agapanthus, gaura, grasses (stipa, festuca, miscanthus) and hardy ground cover.

We supply container-grown plants (3 to 130 L) for beds at any stage, and rootballed or basketed stock for trees and large transplanted olives. Every sale comes with planting advice specific to the local ground: a hole three times wider than the rootball, gravel drainage at the base, mineral mulch on top, and watering in through the first summer.
