In the heart of the bustling Rue de Reuilly, a jungle emerges from the urban mosaic. Welcome to La Green Touch, the green sanctuary of the 12th arrondissement that is bursting with beauty that needs lots of love, water, and sunshine. If this name sounds familiar to you, it's probably because of their expertise in terrariums. Terrariums are the best friends of those who don't have green thumbs.

A DIY approach Whether you are from Paris or not, you can purchase plants from the carefully selected collections of Green Touch on the e-shop to create your own indoor jungles: dried flowers, indoor plants, "pet-friendly" species for those who have pets that love sniffing and chewing on greenery, giant or mini plants... The choice and quality are guaranteed.

When sanitary conditions allow, you can attend thematic workshops at the shop to learn everything about making and caring for your terrarium, as well as creating kokedama, the Japanese art of displaying plant balls at home. You also learn the techniques of repotting and plant care to truly have a green thumb.
