Press release JdC Garden Trends 2024 - 13 December 2023
JdC Garden Trends 2024: a unique opportunity to discover how the garden can be both a source of well-being and eco-responsible.
For two decades, the Garden Trends Collection Days (JdC) trade fair, organised by Infopro Digital, has established itself as the major event for all garden retail buyers in France. This not-to-be-missed event for the garden industry is taking place in Marseille, France's 2nd largest city, with the Parc Chanot as its backdrop. On 26-27 and 28 March, the 2024 edition of Garden Trends Collection Days will be opening its doors to garden retail buyers, with 390 exhibitors and an ever-increasing number of innovations and new products revolving around a new, refined segmentation of sectors: Outdoor Living, Gardening & Cultivation, Landscaping & Construction, Home & Leisure and Retail Services. For 3 days, 1,400 players from the French retail sector will be able to meet 390 exhibitors, half of whom come from more than 20 different countries. Building on its success in 2023 with BFM, M6 and the major gardening magazines, the Garden Trends Collection Days trade fair will be welcoming all the media aimed at the general public for the 2nd year running.
The 20th edition of the Garden Trends Collection Days trade fair will open with a focus that is more than ever in tune with the times: well-being and the virtuous garden
Gardening has long been recognised for its benefits to morale, as a remedy for depression on grey days. It is a vehicle for social interaction, education and personal reconstruction: a garden for green leisure activities, a decorative garden, a garden that nurtures out of ecological conviction or economic concern. This edition reflects this dimension perfectly, highlighting the sociological, environmental and economic aspects that have shaped the gardening industry.
The garden and DIY market has been growing steadily for over two decades. Several factors have contributed to this positive trend. The switch to the 35-hour week has freed up people's time, encouraging them to invest more in the upkeep of their exteriors.
In addition, environmental awareness has marked a significant stage in the history of the garden market. This could take the form of an increase in green spaces, green roofs, green walls and other initiatives aimed at creating a more sustainable and pleasant environment. Or through new regulations, such as the compulsory composting of bio-waste from 1 January 2024...
In order to move towards the sobriety that will bring about real positive social change for the planet and society as a whole, the products and innovations that reflect this trend will be at the heart of the industry from now on, and can be found at the JdC Garden Trends show.
20TH EDITION A SOURCE OF WELL-BEING
This 20th edition of JdC Garden Trends highlights major developments in the industry and offers a space for exploration for professionals who want to stay at the cutting edge of trends and virtuous practices.
This is a unique opportunity to discover how the garden can be both a source of well-being and a responsible act ?

EXCEPTIONAL EVENT IN MANY WAYS
THE SIZE AND INTERNATIONAL SCOPE OF ITS OFFERING
It is the leading professional meeting in the French garden distribution sector, bringing together no less than 1,000 brands spread across 390 stands. More than half of these exhibitors are international, from around twenty different countries, giving visitors the opportunity to discover new products never before seen in France.
FINER SEGMENTATION OF THE OFFERING
The new finer segmentation enhances the event's relevance to a diverse audience, from gardening enthusiasts to DIY enthusiasts, barbecue enthusiasts and consumers of home and leisure-related products. As a result, "Home & Leisure" and "Services for Retail" have been added to "Outdoor Living", "Gardening & Cultivating" and "Landscaping & Building".
The "Gardening & Cultivating" category
includes the main concentration of consumer motoculture brands, watering equipment, DIY tools, and plants.
The "Building & Landscaping" category
focuses on products related to outdoor landscaping, such as materials, lighting, fences, terraces, and outdoor decoration.
The "Outdoor Living" category
brings together items such as barbecues, garden furniture, pool accessories and products, games and toys, cushions, etc.
The "Home & Leisure" category
includes tableware, creative hobbies, indoor plants, pots, vases, rugs, and doormats. It offers products for desaisonnalisation, enabling yearround revenue generation.
The "Services for Retail" category
while not the core of the exhibition's offering, meets the needs of distributors in terms of store equipment or logistics consulting, for example.
The future of the plant sector
is continuing to expand, with a number of new entrants.
THE 1ST B2B CONCENTRATION OF BARBECUE MANUFACTURERS IN FRANCE
