When we go on vacation, emptying the fridge, taking out the trash, and arranging for pet care are reflexes that most of us have acquired. But in all this hustle and bustle related to leaving, we often forget an entire part of our home: the plants. Fortunately, A’rose provides you with the perfect solution.

We often tend to put them on the back burner after kids or pets—maybe with some reason—but plants are vital living beings that enrich our homes, purify our air, and elegantly decorate our living rooms. Unfortunately, too often they are thoughtlessly sacrificed during vacations, deprived of water, sunshine, and attention. Thankfully, some clever folks have decided to put these lovely green beings at the heart of their concerns by creating A’rose.


A Real Problem

When we adopt a plant, or even worse, several, it...is a true commitment. Indeed, each variety requires specific care, a certain level of investment, and especially tolerates no mistakes on our part. So, there's no way we can skip a watering session just because the person in charge decides to take a vacation (most often well-deserved, I should add).

But here's the thing, transporting a ficus taller than one meter or a cactus with sharp spikes when you're about to spend 6 hours in a local train (because you can't afford a TGV ticket) is not ideal. So the solution is simple: rely on someone else to take care of your green leaf friends. And if you're torn between your plantophobic cousin and your buddy with a green thumb as vibrant as a Smurf, why not call in some professionals (or almost)?


A Real Solution

A’rose, is the perfect plant sitting system to keep your greens alive all summer long! ute;, even if you decide to escape to Brittany for 2 months (and we totally understand, it’s really amazing in Brittany). The concept is simple: the site connects you with people ready to take care of your hydrangea or any other plant friend for you, either by coming to your home regularly or by welcoming it into their home for as long as it takes.

And don't worry, we see where you're coming from, this isn't about handing your keys to just anyone — if you choose the at-home option — the platform is super secure. All the important information is then listed in the ads, to connect you with the nearest PlantSitter, who can set rates and conditions based on their criteria. The site also encourages you to meet beforehand to ensure the safety of everyone! And watch out, the platform is in need of caretakers, so if you're interested and in the area this summer, don't hesitate!
