How seasonal programmes work
After an initial botanical plan, you may enrol in a seasonal visit cycle. Each visit we assess plant health, replace tired stems, adjust watering notes for radiator season or courtyard heat, and optionally rotate dried accents. The goal is continuity: guests walking into a Presqu'île salon should recognise the room, not feel a brand-new installation every time.
Season notes for Lyon
- Spring: brighter window gardens as shutters open longer; herbs return to east sills.
- Summer: heat planning for west façades and sunny Croix-Rousse courts; mulch and watering intervals updated.
- Autumn: structural foliage and dried elements as light softens over the Saône.
- Winter: humidity and light strategies for heated apartments; fewer sun-dependent species on north walls.
What stays vs what changes
Large vessels, climbing frames, and floor anchors usually stay. Seasonal fillers, herb trays, and table compositions change. If a plant outgrows a sill, we relocate it indoors or to the courtyard rather than forcing a poor fit. Photo logs help us track changes between visits without guessing.
Subscription-style visits
Four visits per year start from €95 per visit for a single-room refresh (materials extra). Full-apartment seasonal care is quoted after the first plan. One-off seasonal swaps are available without a year-long commitment. See pricing.
Pairing with other services
Seasonal work builds on indoor plants, window gardens, courtyards, or dried botanicals. New clients should begin with process so the first season has a solid base.
Timing your first refresh
Ideal entry points are late March or early October, when Lyon light shifts noticeably. Mid-summer starts are fine if watering access is reliable. Mention holiday gaps so we do not schedule a visit while you are away and shutters remain sealed.
