The Pepiniére de Penhouët of Ploeren, part I !!!

Posted in Bretagne, France

I had this spot mentioned in several posts briefly and it is so sentimental for us , I need to have a single post on it for the memories of always. This is nursery garden shop in the town of Ploeren call Penhouët. Let me tell you briefly the nice story of this place so dear to us. In French it is the Pepiniére de Penhouët, part I !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The Pepiniére de Penhouët, in Ploeren near Vannes. Right off the expressway N165 Nantes-Brest. It is huge, all along the expressway, and great friendly expert service.  The nursery garden shop we of course always go by car sortie/ exit 29 Arradon on the N165 and go on a small road C5 communal along the expressway until you reach the Pépiniére de  Penhouët in city limits of Ploeren.

We buy all our plants, trees, dirt from them and very good results so used to said my other half, I was just the transport guy lol!  All our plants for the house and lawn accessories, grass, and tools, with the design of Breton stones in our front house garden and lawn grass in the back.. My dear late wife Martine fell in love with it, and as she was an avid gardener; we came here often ever since we purchase our house in 2013 (they opened in 2012). The plants and trees change seasons and we continue to come back. Over  5 hectares and over 120K plants!!!

You have free parking and the nursery is right around you, you walk up the main office and warehouse. You can walk all over the garden and or ask help at any time. The service is nice and well informed; you won’t go wrong here.

One of her last wish was she wanted to plant a rose plant in front of the house. Unfortunately she could not due to the f cancer. So therefore, the family on her side gave us the money to buy the rose plants. Of course, we came here with the boys to buy them, 3 of them in different colors. And the filling dirt as well.

I take this opportunity to thank from the bottom of my heart all those that either has done a “I Like” in my sad posts , commented or email me in private, thank you very much. Life goes on, as all tells me. I should be there for my boys. However, you know life will not be the same, we just go on surviving with the strength of my 3 boys.

This is a spot we have not been in over 2 years now, my mamie bleu is no longer with us, and we just keep up the plants we have and the lawn ,as well as cutting the beech hedges. Its a labor of love with my sons and plenty of nice memories forever. When time comes to replace them , do not know what will do as I am not a gardener !!! Again, hope you enjoy this post on the Pepiniére de Penhouët , part I !!!  as I.

And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
