Travel travel!

Travel, travel

Flight in the heights

Above the capitals

Fatal ideas

Look at the ocean…

Perhaps you remember the lyrics of the Desireless song from 1989?

No, well too bad! We’re still going to go on a trip!

Travel Travel

Don’t worry, it won’t be forever! This year, each month, I chose to take a trip, via Facebook, to garden centers around the world.

This virtual tour allows you to see the communication carried out in garden sales locations where you and I may never go!

In mainland France, it’s a little different, we will meet one day at the bend of a nursery alley, between two rows of olive trees…

In fact, for 2 years now, we have been carrying out a visit and a small in-house survey in order to list the Hellos received by the sellers. From February 2025, we will give you the results of our visits in 2024. We will have 2 winners to whom we will visit to give them their trophy in partnership with Mauryflor and Larbaletier.

If you also want to become a partner in this little game, don’t hesitate, we are looking for goodwill…

In the meantime, for this month of November, we are going to take a trip to the other side of the world. On the way to a travel trip!

Bob’z Garden Center

In the middle of the US presidential elections, we are going to take a trip to Oregon. For the record, in 2016, the state chose Hillary Clinton with 50% of the votes to Trump’s 39. Good !Head to the West Coast of the USA, near the Canadian border. We are here in the suburbs of Portland, near Mount Hood which peaks at 3429 meters above sea level.A harsh country!There, local merchants and businesses gathered to celebrate the region’s most successful companies. In the “Nurseries” category, Bob’z Garden Center, whose address is 21735 S. Springwater Rd. Estacada, Oregon, won the Platinum award.The CM of the point of sale reports this in his news feed. That’s good, as there isn’t too much to say while waiting to communicate on the Christmas aisle, this is timely news! Bob’z comes first in front of Farmington Garden… That’s good news!!!

Dubai Garden Center

Far from there, in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, we go to Al Quoz, to the south of the cityBefore, Al Quoz was an industrial district, with its warehouses and factories. Today it is considered a tourist destination. It is in fact one of the most popular artistic and cultural hubs in Dubai.

Many buildings have been transformed into art galleries, photo studios and performance venues. This is where we find the impressive Garden Center with its floor, its restaurant, its pet store, and a huge decoration section!This week, Facebook communication invites you to “Say hello to our superb new products.- Lagerstroemia Indica-Ficus Panda Cage- Ficus Nitida in a cage »And the CM added“Perfect for bringing lush greenery and beauty to your garden!   Visit us today to explore our new arrivals. »

For the address, it’s at739 Sheikh Zayed Rd – next to Lexus Showroom – Al Quoz Industrial Area 3 – Dubai

Garden Center Giza Egypt

This time we are going to Egypt in the western suburbs of Cairo, right next to the Sphinx International Airport. The address is =El-Nozha, Second Al Sheikh Zayed, Giza Governorate 3248101, Egypt.And why did you choose this Facebook account? Quite simply because the communication is rather well done and in particular on this post which indicates that summer is over. The CM of the point of sale specifies that the watering systems will have to be repackaged.

The photo surely comes to us from AI and the sea that we roll up like a carpet is very successful!Greenology Nursery and Garden Center is between interior designer, landscaper and garden center. But according to the photos, he is also a producer!The photos are chosen with care and make you want to go there… On site! If you make the trip, you can also visit the pyramids of Giza which are a few kilometers away.

Glamours garden center مركز قلامورز الزراعي 

Contrary to this pretty title, the trip to Sudan at the Glamor Garden Center is not that Glamorous.Indeed, South Sudan is in the grip of a war which is causing many deaths. “The number of people facing hunger and death is already expected to have almost doubled in the four months between April and July 2024 compared to the same period in 2023,” the UN tells us.Here in North Sudan, the Garden Center is not quite up to the standards of rich countries.

The awnings are “homemade” built and covered with dry palm fronds. The gauges are dug into the ground to facilitate watering. Here is the text of the latest Facebook post from our friends in Sudan. There, the priorities are really very far from our concerns…“In the current difficult conditions, people are moving to safe states, and therefore, the need for food is increasing day by day. This means that agriculture has become more important than ever and vegetables are the easiest and quickest thing we can grow to ensure our food. The goal is not just to plant, but to make every agricultural experience a success with strength and determination.

There is no room for failure, because your success will provide food for all of us and reduce hunger in our society.   We offer you completely free consultations and advice, to fight diseases and increase productivity.  Our big goal is to free people from hunger and build a stronger agricultural future.  Together we can transform every farm into a source of life and hope. Let’s plant, produce and build a better future for us all.»Nothing to add.
