Created in 1977 in the wake of the farming cooperatives, Gamm vert has grown to become the leading local garden centre network in France with 975 shops across the country.
Attentive to the needs of its customers, Gamm vert wants to “democratise” gardening. The brand sells a broad range of plants, tools and products for creating and tending gardens – and kitchen gardens in particular – while bringing customers the expertise of specialised and trained advisers.

GAMM VERT & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Gamm vert is committed to sustainable development. It promotes responsible gardening by highlighting best practices and selling 700 environment-friendly products.
Firmly rooted in local communities, Gamm vert cultivates its difference by encouraging customers to rediscover the taste of local produce and authenticity. The brand has notably developed “Les Sens du Terroir”, a retail space devoted to regional products made by local producers and to tools for “home-made” pursuits.
Gamm vert boasts a huge selection of products and feed for pets and livestock animals. It also sells an exclusive collection of clothes and footwear, approved by professionals and targeting all nature lovers. 
In addition, Gamm vert sells 600 own-brand products at unbeatable value for money.

THE SUCCESS OF COMPTOIR DU VILLAGE

The change in customer catchment areas and corresponding customer profiles led Gamm vert to segment its offering. In 2007, it created Comptoir du Village as an agricultural retail outlet aimed at rural-based professionals and the general public. Located primarily in rural areas of less than 5,000 inhabitants, Comptoir du Village outlets sell adapted ranges, including livestock, farming and wine-vine equipment.
The secret of their success? Each one adapts its offering to local farming needs. Comptoir du Village today has over 200 retail outlets.
