Germie is the brainchild of Éric Baudouin, a passionate gardener with a deep appreciation for ancient seed varieties and sustainable gardening practices. Drawing inspiration from his own gardening journey and the challenges he encountered, Éric set out to revolutionize the seed germination process and empower fellow gardeners to achieve outstanding results.

The first prototype was created.

After developing a passion for ancient seeds and rare varieties in the spring of 2016, Germie's founder attempted to germinate seeds from Peru with traditional tools and methods. The seeds took 3 weeks to germinate in a conventional germination tray. After 6 weeks, the plants were ready to be placed in their final destination. This experience was disastrous, and 50% of the plants were lost following the root removal that damaged the too-fragile roots. It was impossible to replant, because it was is too late in the season. Following this experience, the first prototype was born.

We completed the 5th final prototype

Between the creation of the 1st prototype and the 5th version of the prototype released in 2020, thousands of seeds gave birth to plants in all the prototypes that were tested and improved. It was on December 2020 that Idea Reality Ltd, a UK based firm, delivered the final pre-industrial prototype.

A range of tools is born

In 2021, the full range of tools were created and tested with several testers. The tools, the project and the research results were presented to the Emergys Bretagne committee, which unanimously gave a 100% positive opinion. Since June 7, 2021, Germie has been an incubated startup for Emergys Bretagne, with the support of the Region of Brittany and the State and in conjunction with public research.

Our Testimony of one of our product user 

GERMIE allowed me to see the magic of nature!

Even though I no longer have a house with a garden, but an apartment with a balcony, what a pleasure to see these thousand and one seeds, no matter how small, grow in an indoor and sunny space. In a very short time, I will say a few days, the plant points the end of its nose. A little watering or spraying every day is all that is needed to keep the soil moist. I ended up taking  pictures… In 2020, my first experiment was to grow nasturtium seeds. The transplant was a success, no plant was lost, and my balcony was blooming all summer long. Total success!
