Lasting just a bit longer than final yr’s version (virtually 5 weeks) the Mille et une orchidées (1,001 Orchids) occasion is again within the hothouses of the Jardin des Plantes (not removed from our accommodations), with – as ever – some really superb flowers.
That is the twelfth annual version of Mille et une orchidées, and an awesome excuse to go and go to the spectacular hothouses of the Jardin des Plantes, decked out with 1,000m² of unique orchids such as you’ve by no means seen earlier than!
Very like final yr, two totally different ‘routes’ have been created, one by the venue’s gardeners (along with these of the Versailles-Chèvreloup Arboretum which can also be managed by the Jardin des Plantes), and the opposite, for the primary time, by Christophe Duminil, who’s head of the orchid assortment on the Senate.
It needs to be mentioned, the presentation is fairly spectacular…
And the orchid-related reward store is again, 30% larger this yr, with a number of orchids to take house, take care of and marvel at. You can even participate in workshops about repotting your orchids, and learn to make them flower yr after yr (one thing we have now by no means managed, alas!)
Lastly, regardless of the longer period and greater store, the occasion itself has not elevated its admission charges this yr (9€ / 7€). Don’t miss this uncommon and beautiful presentation near our accommodations! 🥰
