"We are delighted with Maximilien's work. He was able to find all the poetry, harmony and functionality we wanted for our garden. He drew up a project that appealed to us, then dealt with the town-planning formalities diligently and efficiently, and then took care of quotes from contractors. The whole project preparation phase is now complete, and work can begin. I'm perfectly confident thanks to the site supervision we've entrusted to him". Lorraine - April 20, 20
"We were delighted to call on Maximilien to fit out a small patio at the end of the house, which had previously been neglected. We had an excellent rapport from the outset, and were subsequently able to appreciate his artistic qualities, his knowledge of and passion for the plant world, and his technical skills. A project to be recommended, a success!"Claude - April 23, 2022
"We renovated a house in the center of Nantes. Once the interior was finished, our aim was to finalize the exteriors so that we could make the most of them, not wanting to repeat the bad experiences of the past, i.e., putting things off and ending up with a finished garden after 10 years. The renovation of our new house, with the ups and downs of the price of materials, has blown our budget to smithereens, and our garden budget has suffered as a result. Knowing nothing about this area, we called in Maximilien, although we wondered about the usefulness of involving a landscape architect and adding a financial layer. We were well advised, as he was able to bring us his knowledge of the environment, and of the landscape architect and nurseryman market. In fact, this market is highly disparate, with quotes ranging from one to four times for similar services. This great professional, who masters this market perfectly, provided us with plans, consultation follow-up, a "surgical" approach to pricing conditions, as well as personal involvement in the choice of products with metronome-like regularity when it came to timing and site follow-up. Maximilien showed incredible pugnacity and determination to achieve the desired result. In short, we're completely satisfied with his work and won't hesitate to tell others about him. Many thanks Maximilien for your excellent work." Emmanuel - May 3, 2022
"A big thank you to Maximilien for making our garden beautiful. After buying our house, our garden had been unoccupied for 7 years and had just undergone the constraints of a renovation. We called on Maximilien for this major project. Maximilien's professionalism was evident throughout the entire process, from the preliminary design to the final product. Advice, design of plans, knowledge of plants, rigorous monitoring of service providers, choice of plants from the nursery, finishing touches to the project, on time and on budget - everything went according to plan. In addition to his service, he even added his own personal bamboo finish at the very end of the project, demonstrating his invaluable added value. We recommend Maximilien with our eyes closed!"

During a visit to Louis Vuitton's new exhibition space, I was surprised to discover this teeming mass of chlorophyll, just a few steps from the delicious Cheval Blanc pastries. At once shaggy and structured, classic yet capturing the zeitgeist, Maximilien Minguet's proposal highlights a singular savoir-faire, which brings together the personality of its commissioner and his own artistic identity.

What a pleasure to work with Maximilien! He really understood our desires and how we wanted to live in our future garden. We loved his sketches and being able to project ourselves into the spaces he was able to create. We can't wait to enjoy the warm weather in our green corner! Camille - February 13, 2023
Last November, I collaborated with Maximilien on the construction and production of an indoor tropical garden for a famous LVMH Maison. Maximilien rose to the challenge brilliantly. We had very, very little time. His advice was very effective, and he also knew how to adapt to the constraints and numerous changes in artistic direction. I recommend him 100% -

Maximilien has just redone the entire garden. He was able to disregard the existing features to present us with a beautiful enhancement, with fine work on spaces and volumes. He was very attentive in the choice of plant palette.
He was on hand to monitor the project right through to delivery. We can't wait to see the garden blossom in spring, but we're already under the spell of the result. M. et Mme Derbanne - Magnolia garden in Nantes (44) - December 2023
