It takes ten to fifteen years to create a variety of grass
explained Noémie Robert, product manager Once created, our strain is shipped to Denmark. Before being put on sale it undergoes new tests. You were able to admire our lawns at the Olympic Games at the horse show in front of the Palace of Versailles. We also supply turf for the football world cups and in France, our lawns and flower meadows are marketed under the Euro flora brand.
