An opportunity to add a touch of greenery to your home while helping reduce waste. On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Monaco City Hall will organise another free plant giveaway at Princess Antoinette Park, renewing an initiative that has attracted growing interest among residents and gardening enthusiasts over recent years.
The event will begin at 12 noon, in front of the park’s Salle anniversaire, near the entrance on Boulevard du Jardin Exotique. Approximately 100 ornamental plants will be available. These plants have been used in the park’s summer displays and are due to be replaced as the season changes.
The selection will include geraniums, kalanchoes, begonias and ornamental canna lilies. Rather than being discarded at the end of the seasonal displays, these plants will be given a second life in private homes, on balconies and in gardens.
The park’s gardeners will oversee the distribution and will also be available to offer practical advice on replanting, maintenance and caring for the different varieties.
To give as many people as possible the opportunity to take part, the giveaway will be limited to one plant per person. Availability is limited, however, and plants will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until supplies run out.
The free plant giveaway has become an established event in the environmental initiatives organised by Monaco City Hall. For almost four years, the project has helped recover ornamental plants used in the park’s seasonal displays, preventing healthy plants from going to waste.
The initiative is a practical example of the circular economy in action: making better use of resources, extending the life of plants and encouraging more sustainable habits throughout the community.
The success of previous editions reflects the popularity of this simple yet effective idea, which combines environmental awareness with community participation. Given the high demand, anyone wishing to take home a plant is advised to arrive on time, as supplies may run out quickly.
For residents of the Principality and anyone who would like to take home a little piece of Monaco’s greenery, this is an event worth adding to the calendar. A simple gesture that turns the seasonal renewal of public flowerbeds into an opportunity for reuse and sustainability.
