Our history

In 2016, in a café in Blois, two friends shared their desire to create ‘dessine-moi-un-jardin.com’ (draw me a garden), a bit like the ‘Ikea’ of gardens.

Florent, then studying for an MBA at INSEAD, decided to take this project as the subject of his dissertation.

The start-up Draw Me A Garden is created. Guillaume, a landscape architect trained at the Versailles School, joins the adventure.

Several projects are launched:
> The creation of garden inspirations and plant ranges.
> Modelling gardens and creating the first 2D and 3D algorithms.
> The first version of the website.

The first prototype has been launched, and we are having our community test the 3D tool. You are thrilled with the early results!

Draw Me A Garden joins the FrenchTech incubator at Lab'O in Orléans, and two web developers and a marketing manager join the team.

2019 saw rapid growth, thanks to subsidies from the BPI and the first round of fundraising. Anne-Laure, partner and shareholder, joined the adventure and took charge of marketing and communications.

You create your gardens on the dmag.fr website, and the first gardens are planted between Tours, Blois and Orléans.

Partnerships established in 2019 with major companies such as Leroy Merlin and Stihl were intended to strengthen our position. Unfortunately, nothing went as planned with the arrival of the first lockdown. Draw Me A Garden reorganised itself to operate entirely remotely and launched the “landscaper project”.

Our offering continues to evolve, and you have given us enthusiastic feedback on the beauty of the gardens.

Since 2021, the logistics organisation has changed. After two years of deliveries handled by the co-founders, your orders are now delivered by professionals! Gardens are now delivered throughout France 😊

The nourishing garden has been launched to enable you to have a beautiful and productive garden. A change has been made to the sales team in order to better understand your expectations.

To continue developing our business, a new round of fundraising has been completed. This will enable us to develop our commercial activities in particular, as well as our Research & Development division.

We are crossing borders and delivering to our first Belgian customers who are planting their Garden Kits.

Our teams are continuing their work to improve the algorithms and the 3D application. Always with the same goal in mind: to help you create the garden of your dreams.

Our offering is evolving with new customisation features. One step closer to co-creating dream gardens: you can add flower beds and modify them while benefiting from the expertise of our botanists and landscape designers.

Launch of our Landscaping Project Box to help your loved ones transform their lawn into a beautiful landscaped garden.

We are continuing our European expansion with the delivery of your gardens to Luxembourg and Switzerland.

The team has expanded since the end of last year, with up to four people available to advise you.

Improvements to the website's usability, the appointment booking process and, above all, the introduction of video consultations to show you your garden in 3D in real time.

Arrival of exotic plants, with adapted ranges.

Projects are being carried out (but not yet delivered) for clients located far away from France.

Expansion of plant ranges following collaboration with botanists and landscape designers. Hundreds of gardens have been delivered since the beginning of the adventure.
