  2. RIPAUD PEPINIERES

    France

    Inspired by explorers of bygone times, the Ripaud family have been scouring the planet for over 60 years, searching for new plants to delight their customers. Although the small, family-run business now grows around 90% of its plants locally at its 100-hectare site, Benoît and Damien Ripaud retain the same attitudes that motivated their father Joseph, who founded the nursery: travel to bring back fantastic plants that can be adapted to our climate. Giant bonsai from Japan, yuccas from Mexico, cycas from Costa Rica, collector maples from New Zealand, hundred-year-old olive trees and palm trees from Mediterranean countries: these are just a few of the exotic plants offered by this garden nursery where more than 200 species and 2 million plants are grown in the heart of the Vendée countryside. A million plants are sold every year in France. Today the company has 50 employees.
