Our concept

What is our event about?

**Our mission

In business for the past 16 years, the gardening distribution channels’ key buyers and suppliers have been meeting each year at the Journées des Collections Jardin’s trade fair.

Our Target : to help you save time and money by combining several months of sourcing and market monitoring into one event.
Therefore, helping you to prepare your next listings.

Our job is to help you succeed with your job.

As always, we do our best to provide a pleasant business environment allowing quality networking among attendees.

**Grasp retailers’ listing period

Indeed, the French garden distribution networks start their listing process in April. Our programs are customized together with the major retailers, in addition to offering them the opportunity to schedule their listing committee sessions during the fair. An event to help you keep in mind to fore-cast the future trends to match the buyers’ needs.

**Business leads and conviviality

Retailers will be sourcing novelties, innovations and of course will use this opportunity to exchange over the garden market constantly evolving. Indeed, their vision will influence your future products. Retailers’ accommodations and lunches are totally paid by the organizer. A smooth atmosphere, with no visiting costs… why would they miss it!

The Parc Chanot offers additional advantages compared with the past Chaalis’ location, such as:

• both indoor and outdoor ground areas (No weather hazards, allowing perfect on-site demos)
• Greener environment and surroundings in connection with the shows industry
