Laval, THE autumn destination to dress up your home

From the beginning of autumn to the first snowfall, fall colors are in the spotlight. Red and orange are everywhere, as are dried wheat, pumpkins and seasonal flowers. And to brighten up any home, we don't skimp on floral arrangements to brighten up doorsteps or place on dining tables. To help you find everything you need to create memorable decors and ambiences, while feasting your eyes on the most beautiful species of plants available in autumn, we've put together a little tour for you to enjoy.

Breathe in and out of autumn flowers

Pink, purple, yellow or orange, autumn chrysanthemums bloom until the end of November and require very little maintenance. We also love them for their eye-catching appearance, and because they're available in large quantities from Sylvain Cléroux Greenhouses in Laval. And while you're there, why not take a tour of the exhibition greenhouse? Breathe in, admire and be inspired by the 500 varieties of plants on display. A golden opportunity to make new discoveries

Choose autumn flowers tailored to your needs

Flowers have many virtues. As well as giving pleasure when received as gifts, they help to improve air quality. And, not least, they have a calming effect. If you'd like to create your own pretty seasonal bouquets, or buy some made-to-measure just for you, there's one name you need to know: Charbonneau L'Expert. On site, you'll find not only a vast selection of plants, but also passionate people who can advise you or create the most beautiful floral arrangements for you. Pst! Take advantage of your visit to stroll the aisles and top it all off with a sweet treat (in this case, the cookies and fruit baskets sold in the boutique).

Treat yourself to autumn plants and visit the Salon

Do you feel an irrepressible urge to let yourself be charmed by the beauty of flowers and plants? Or is it the new idea of creating an autumn garden that just won't let go? Whatever your reason for wanting to visit a greenhouse, don't be put off! To combine the useful with the surprising, drop in at Pépinière Locas and then continue your day by plunging into the heart of a totally exotic agro-tourism micro-trip with a visit to the very first Salon des Plantes Tropicales. On site, you'll be able to admire an impressive selection of tropical plants, visit ephemeral boutiques specializing in rare plants and attend free lectures! The show closes on October¹, but the nursery is open all year round.

Add a touch of rarity to your autumn classics

Tradition doesn't always mean renewal. To the autumn flowers that you love so much and that complete your fall decor year after year, perhaps you could add a new species. A species you've never seen before! At Serres FJC Lavoieyou'll be able to get your hands on a host of rare plants or... cacti! If you want to see and experience autumn differently, this is the place to go. But be warned: this is a place with a high potential for attraction. So it's possible you'll spend more time here than you'd like.
