The greenhouses
For the highest quality local produce, By Charlot grows its plants in its own greenhouses in the Île-de-France region.
« We've always wanted to work closely with the best suppliers and producers. When the opportunity arose, we acquired our own greenhouses in the Île-de-France region. In addition to growing our plants, these greenhouses allow us to ensure a short supply chain. »
Owning its own greenhouses allows By Charlot to cultivate both locally and responsibly
But also to ensure greater control over plant maintenance. Every day, a team of several expert craftspeople takes turns caring for the young plants.
With a view to environmental responsibility, plant care is carried out manually and, as much as possible, using natural methods. Thus, the use of phytosanitary products concerns less than one percent of By Charlot plants, and remains reserved for plants affected by diseases. The plants concerned are carefully set aside during these treatments. In addition, rainwater harvesting and the use of techniques reducing water consumption allow for sustainable watering. Finally, in a circular spirit, plant waste is recycled into compost, which is then used as fertilizer for growing plants.
