PLANTATION MAC INTOSH

Mac Intosh is Martinique's^leading producer of exotic flowers. For 40 years, heliconias, red balisiers, red alpinias and porcelain roses have flourished on this 70-hectare site. The horticultural plantation is still run as a family business, now with Harold Marraud des Grottes, who has launched Fleurs lointaines. The principle is simple: flowers grown as naturally as possible are cut and harvested the same day they are flown to mainland France. Fleurs lointaines is renowned for its respect for nature.
