Who knows how many flowers and plants the Flower City consumes annually? According to statistics from the Paris Green Space and Parks Management Office, the city needs tens of millions of plants each year, which is hard to imagine.
However, where do these vast quantities come from? They originate from the municipal plant nurseries and potted plant locations in eastern Paris—specifically the greenhouses at Snow Moss - Parc de Bagatelle—and the modern large greenhouse horticultural center of the Rungis municipality on the outskirts of Paris. Rungis was established due to the supply-demand imbalance of the Snow Moss - Parc de Bagatelle greenhouses over the past decade.
The lush Snow Moss - Parc de Bagatelle has served as a royal vegetable garden since Louis XV. It was not until the late 19th century that landscape architect J-C Formige redesigned it into several large greenhouses measuring 100 meters long, 15 meters wide, and 16 meters high. Since then, it has functioned as the municipal plant cultivation center, providing over 100,000 plants annually. Additionally, it houses numerous exotic and rare plants, such as orchids, camellias, azaleas, begonia, pineapple, and various other indoor plants.
