More than 150 plants will be gifted to the public on Wednesday as part of the Mairie’s ongoing commitment against waste.

Since launching its eco-friendly plant recycling initiative in 2022, Monaco City Hall (Mairie) has helped give over 1,000 plants a second life by distributing seasonal greenery to residents, promoting sustainability and environmental consciousness in the Principality.

On Wednesday 13th November, this green initiative returns with a new session at Princess Antoinette Park, where around 150 plants will be offered to the public.

The event, scheduled for 12:30 pm outside the park’s birthday room, will welcome participants looking to adopt plants such as geraniums, sage, iris, begonias, coleus, phormiums, and canas. Gardeners will be on hand to share tips and advice on planting and maintenance, ensuring the plants flourish in their new homes while supporting Monaco’s commitment to reducing waste.

This annual plant-sharing event aligns with the Mairie’s broader environmental goals, aimed at minimising waste and fostering a circular economy.
