Our history


Draw Me A Garden is above all a beautiful story of encounters between garden enthusiasts. Convinced of the need to reconnect with Nature and the benefits of a little piece of greenery, we embarked on this adventure to help you easily create and arrange your garden.

2016

In 2016, in a café in Blois, two friends shared their desire to create "dessine-moi-un-jardin.com", a bit like the "Ikea" of gardening.

Florent, then an MBA student at INSEAD, decided to use this project as the subject of his dissertation.

2017

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

Several projects are launched:
> Construction of garden inspirations and plant ranges.
> Garden modeling and creation of the first 2D and 3D algorithms.
> The first version of the website.

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

2019

The year 2019 is a sign of acceleration, thanks to BPI subsidies and the first fund-raising. Anne-Laure, partner and shareholder, joins the adventure and takes charge of Marketing and Communication.

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

2020

Partnerships begun in 2019 with major companies such as Leroy Merlin and Stihl should consolidate our position. Unfortunately, nothing goes according to plan with the arrival of 1st containment. Draw Me A Garden then reorganized to be 100% remote, and launched the 'landscaper's project'.

Our offer continues to evolve, and we're getting more than enthusiastic feedback on the beauty of our gardens.

2021

Since 2021, the logistics organization has changed. After 2 years of delivery provided by the co-founders, you are now delivered by professionals! There are now gardens delivered all over France 😊

The nurturing garden is launched to help you have a beautiful and good garden. A change in the sales team is made to improve the outlook on what you expect.

2022

To continue developing our business, we have closed a new round of financing. It will enable us to develop our sales activity in particular, as well as Research & Development.

We cross borders and deliver our first Belgian customers who plant their Garden Kit.

Our teams continue to work on improving our algorithms and 3D application. Our aim is to help you create the garden of your dreams.

Our offer is evolving:
> Deployment of new customization features on our application. You can now add and modify flowerbeds while benefiting from the expertise of our botanist and landscaper.
> Launch of our Landscape Project Box to help your loved ones transform their lawn into a beautiful landscaped garden.

We continue our European expansion with garden deliveries to Luxembourg and Switzerland.
