2023 will go down as an exceptional year for the landscaper La Couleur des Jardins. The company, which specialises in outdoor development and is based on the Triangle de l’Eurozone in north Forbach, experienced a surge in business and spectacular growth. The garden and outdoor space creator more than doubled its workforce, growing from about ten to over twenty employees. Its new site in Forbach was inaugurated in April. And last week, the elected officials of the Forbach urban community approved the sale of new plots of land for a further expansion project for the company. SAS La Couleur des Jardins will acquire an additional 3,618 square metres, at a price of 57,888 euros, close to its current building. This extension will meet the growing demand for the landscaper’s services and, above all, create an additional showroom to present swimming pools and all products related to this specialty. La Couleur des Jardins had already established itself in this niche but intends to strengthen its offering in the swimming pool field. A logical diversification, and part of the DNA of the company founded about ten years ago by Simon Freitag and Alexandre Mozerski.
Finalist of the Carré des Jardiniers 2023
The Forbach company also gained national exposure in December 2023. Simon Freitag, one of the founders, took part in the Le Carré des Jardiniers competition. The garden creator placed among the four finalists of this contest. He then took part in the Paysalia trade show in Lyon, where he presented an exceptional garden of 200 square metres.
Although he did not win the title, Simon Freitag says he is "delighted with the experience and the adventure shared with the whole team at La Couleur des Jardins". This participation in the competition allowed the Forbach SME to become much better known. "There were more than 40,000 visitors at this show, at Eurexpo Lyon," Simon Freitag points out. The landscaper from Forbach's creation is called: La Vi'll'e de demain. "We were asked to work on the green and responsible city of tomorrow. That is, bringing nature back into the city," explains Simon Freitag. In his garden there was thus a library, fragrant plants placed under grates reminiscent of metro vents, colourful mirror games, and a plant pergola with umbrella trees
