If you have ever left a flower shop with a face like “I’ll buy this on Amazon and save the trip”, this article will interest you. Because only about 30 minutes from Valencia capital hides a nursery that is not only the largest in the province, but also one of the most complete and familiar for those who have – literally – a gardener’s soul.
It is called Viveros Alegre, is in Chiva, and has something that few green spaces achieve: make you feel in the middle of a botanical garden, but with shopping cart and personalized advice.
A nursery of 15,000 square meters in Chiva.
Forget about narrow corridors with three sad ficus trees. Thousands of plants of all sizes, colors and species await you here: minimalist cacti, fruit trees, sculptural shrubs, climbing plants that look like something out of a Miyazaki movie and succulents to fill three entire terraces.
In addition, its catalog goes beyond the classic: aquatic plants, perennials, conifers, horticultural plants and even unique species for collectors, such as Japanese acers or large palm trees.
Have you bought a monstera and now you don’t even know where to put it? This nursery is also a great source of decorative items and garden equipment: it sells planters of all styles, sculptures, fountains, outdoor furniture, tools, substrates, fertilizers and even gardening machinery if you get too excited.
They also design gardens
And in case you get lost among so much green, their specialized technical team will help you choose the best according to your space, your budget and your ability to not load an aloe vera in two weeks.
One of their great differentials is that they not only sell, they also create. They are experts in garden design, including unique projects such as floating gardens (temporary green structures that look like something out of a botanical art exhibition). All with optional transportation, parking and convenient access so you only have to worry about whether more pots fit on your balcony.
It is located on the Godelleta road, km 2.5, Chiva (Valencia). Open from Monday to Friday from 9 to 14 hours and from 15:30 to 18:30 hours. On weekends, from 9 am to 2 pm.
