Security & data care
Your project notes, site measurements, and contact information stay private. We use straightforward safeguards so you can focus on planting, not paperwork.
Site visit notes and design drafts are stored with encryption. Only the assigned landscape designer and you can access the latest version of your patio plan.
Each project has a unique access link. You decide who sees the planting schedule and irrigation layout — no public folders, no shared spreadsheets.
Invoices and deposits are processed through a trusted payment gateway. We never store your card details on our own servers.
If a data issue occurs, we notify you within 72 hours and explain what happened. Our small team keeps a clear log of any security events.
Your data stays yours. We only use your details to prepare garden plans, schedule workshops, and send seasonal care reminders. No third-party advertising, no data resale.
Why Vincent Jardin
Every service is built around the realities of city living: small surfaces, limited time, and a climate that demands resilient choices.
Species chosen for your local climate mean less watering, fewer replacements, and a garden that survives your busiest weeks without constant attention.
Modular planters and climbing species turn blank walls and railings into productive growing space, even when floor area is under four square meters.
Simple timer-based systems deliver water directly to roots, cutting usage by roughly a third and keeping your plants healthy while you are at work.
Worm bins and bokashi kits fit under a sink or on a shelf. You turn kitchen scraps into soil for your pots instead of sending them to landfill.
Companion planting and beneficial insects keep aphids and mites in check without chemical sprays, so your herbs and vegetables stay safe to eat.
A measured layout with plant placement, sun exposure notes, and seasonal care reminders. You get a clear roadmap, not just a list of suggestions.
Common questions
Practical answers to the questions we hear most from clients planning a patio, balcony, or vertical garden.
No. Most of our projects are designed for balconies, small patios, and even window ledges. Vertical planters, hanging pots, and compact raised beds let you grow herbs, leafy greens, and flowering natives in less than two square meters.
We focus on native and drought-tolerant species like lavender, rosemary, wild olive, and certain succulents. These plants are naturally adapted to the region, so they need less water, resist common pests, and attract local pollinators.
We start with a visit to your space to check light, wind, and soil conditions. Then we prepare a custom landscaping plan with plant selection, layout, and a simple irrigation schedule. You get a clear document you can follow on your own or with our help.
Yes. Worm bins and bokashi systems work well indoors and produce no strong odors when managed correctly. We explain the setup, what to feed, and how to use the finished compost in your potted plants during our practical workshops.
We handle the modular structure, drip irrigation lines, substrate, and initial planting. After installation, you receive a care guide with watering frequency, pruning tips, and seasonal adjustments so the garden stays healthy year-round.
We teach biological control methods: introducing beneficial insects, using neem oil sprays, and planting companion species that repel common pests. These approaches are safe for children, pets, and the local ecosystem.
