At 53, Jackie Théart is still curious because he loves his job. “A job close to the environment that contributes to well-being,” in the words of this horticulturist, who has been running the family business since 1981, with his two brothers, Michel, the production manager and Philippe, the administrative manager. Based at Saint Nom la Bretèche, he cultivates 2.5 hectares of greenhouses and tunnels. He has specialized in potted plants (cyclamen, chrysanthemum, etc.) and bedding plants (dahlia, geranium). He admits that the profession has become very technical: “You have to constantly follow the new varieties and work methods that come up, so that your products are always top quality.” SCH Theart only practises biological protection integrated into the plants. Well-established at Rungis where he does 30% of his turnover, Jackie Théart promotes the quality of Ile-de-France production..
