the French and their garden in numbers

After the confinements, an idea germinated in the minds of the French. What if gardening made you feel better? In France, 7 out of 10 inhabitants have their own garden. It is 500 m2 on average, more than in Germany or the Netherlands. If the garden is popular, it is primarily because the French see it as a way to relax, and a good way to exercise.

The passion for the vegetable garden

This passion pays off big for gardening brands: 8.5 billion euros in turnover in 2022. The French spend 116 euros a year to maintain their garden. The big trend of the moment is the vegetable garden. It allows you to save money but above all to eat fresh and healthy products. More than 27 million French people grow fruits and vegetables, and 4.5 million raise chickens. 47 million eggs are produced by individuals every week in France.
