The Big Plant Sale is a three-day sale held at Halle Tropisme in Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. It is a fair rather than a shop, and it brings together plant producers who sell their stock directly to visitors.
What you will find
The sale offers more than 150 plant varieties at low prices. Indoor and outdoor plants are both on offer, in large and small sizes. The selection is organised with different needs in mind, including plants for beginners, plants that thrive in shade, and plants that are known to be hard to kill. Potting soil, pots and cache-pots are also sold, so you can leave with everything needed to get a plant home and settled.
Before you go
- Timing: the plants are delivered on the morning of the first sales day, and there is no restocking over the weekend. Stock is first come, first served, so arriving early on the opening day gives you the widest choice.
- Who runs it: the sale is run under the name Plantes Pour Tous, with the producers selling their own plants.
- Practical details: for the dates and any current information, check the event page on the Tropisme website.
Because the sale takes place at Halle Tropisme, it also makes a convenient outing for anyone already exploring Montpellier, a city known for its historic centre and lively streets.
