Situated right in the heart of Gascony on a hill in the Gers region (see map), just a few kilometres away from Auch in south-west of France, his nursery specialises in the production of carnivorous plants. In order to make the widest variety of plants available to you, he has been carrying out research into new species for over 15 years, during which he has taken the greatest care to protect all plants brought from the wild.

 

In spite of our modest structure, our small greenhouses shelter around 45000 carnivorous plants and our collection has become a NATIONAL COLLECTION , which was approved by the CCVS in 1995. We have more than 450 taxons comprising 17 of the 18 known genus.

 

He delivers his carnivorous plants mainly by mail order and assure from past experience that our packaging is a success. The plants will arrive in perfect condition, just as if you had bought them over the counter at the nursery. This special packaging means he can deliver his plants anywhere in the world.

Soon, a on-line shop will be available.
