Guadeloupe: small producer; it also produces cocoa, vanilla and coffee. Everything is produced without chemical treatment completely eco-responsible until the recycling of boxes for shipping.
Flowers are cut the day before they are shipped.
We buy flowers produced in Holland and all over the world. They transit through Saint Martin and then arrive by boat the next day in Saint Barth (3 days) between purchase and arrival.
We buy from the United States: Miami, flowers from Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica. Some productions in the United States and orchids from Thailand.
We buy everything that can be found on Saint Barth (foliage, plants) thanks to nurseries, gardeners and horticulturists.
Our wish would be to be able to offer much more local production.

We no longer do this service, because today we believe that it is very easy and accessible to everyone to contact a local florist directly, in order to know their stock, their prices and to pay directly.
We want to promote local trade, the development of small businesses and to keep a little humanity in our approach.
PS: we like to help an elderly or disabled person make their purchase from a distance.
