There is a wide assortment of outdoors and indoor plants, as well as dry climate ones like cacti and aloes, and many varieties of live herbs (I had a nervous breakdown when had to choose which of the SEVEN types of oregano to buy... the six types of rosemary... my window can only fit so many). You've got crawlers and climbers, perennials and annuals, fancy orchids and 50 cent impatiens. Really almost everything you need is right here at very great prices, like the geranium of your dreams. Thankfully this market is only on Thursdays, otherwise my house would be a live-in jungle.

Unfortunately, I did not find anything appropriate and a sketch note costs 28 euros for a quality that was totally not worth the price, and for nonexistent service. The boutique lady was very occupied on the phone and with some in store construction, that I left with only a single item after having gone there solely to buy all my gifts from that store. Unfortunately, now I have to trudge around in the rain gift shopping! Ugh!!!
