Much more than an eco-responsible approach

A state of mind that guides our daily actions

The eco-responsible commitment of the Nursery Aspres de Grasse is part of a much broader philosophy than intentions and a few actions. Our responsibility is also social. Because beyond simple trade, the Aspres nurseryfrom Grasseaims to be a place of exchange, an area emotional, authentic, open and sharing with plant enthusiasts and experts.

Our role is also sociological in the sense that beauty brings pleasure and well-being.

Since 2009 the Aspres nursery is committed to the Departmental Council's sustainable beekeeping plan 06
