Can I promote my product here?
There are no published rules about promotion, so nothing explicitly bans it. The safe path is to make your post genuinely about gardening and let people ask you about your product in the comments.

Rule summary
No subreddit-specific rules were displayed on the public rules page when Rankhog verified it on 2026-10-12.
Works well
- A photo of your balcony or vegetable patch with a short caption asking for advice on a real problem you are facing.
- A before and after post of a terrace or outdoor corner you improved, with the honest story of what worked and what failed.
- A question about permaculture or keeping hens written in French, asking the community what they would do.
- A helpful comment answering someone else's plant or barbecue question, with no link at all.
- A post about indoor pots or outdoor decoration that shares what you learned and invites others to share their own setup.
Avoid
- Posting about a topic with no connection to gardens, plants, terraces or outdoor life.
- Dropping a bare link with no story, photo or question around it.
- Writing a sales pitch in English to a French speaking community.
- Being rude or dismissive when someone asks a basic gardening question.
- Treating the empty rules page as an invitation to post the same promotion repeatedly.
What r/jardin Is For
This is a French language community about everything around the garden. The public description lists gardening, indoor pots, balconies, permaculture, plants, vegetable patches, outdoor furniture and decoration, barbecues, outdoor sports, terraces, pools, DIY, and even keeping hens. So the people posting here are home gardeners, balcony growers, and folks who spend their weekends outside improving their space. It is a lifestyle and hobby community, not a business community. If your post would make sense while standing in a garden, it probably fits.
What To Post
A good post here looks like a neighbour talking over the fence. Share a photo of your balcony, your vegetable patch, your terrace or your hens, tell people what you did and what went wrong, and ask a real question. Write in French, since the community description is in French and the people reading it live that language. If you built something for gardens or outdoor living, you can talk about the problem you solved and how you figured it out, as long as the post stands on its own as something a gardener enjoys reading. Answer other people's questions too, because being useful in the comments earns you more than any post of your own.
What To Avoid
There are no published rules here, so there is no list of banned actions to quote. What gets you pushed out is simpler than that. Do not post things that have nothing to do with gardening, outdoor decor or backyard life, because the moderator guidance says to keep posts relevant to those topics. Do not be rude or dismissive, because the guidance asks members to be helpful and respectful to each other. And do not treat the absence of rules as permission to drop links everywhere, because a community with no written rules usually relies on moderators and reporters using their judgement, and a spammy post is the easiest judgement call in the world.

Common questions about r/jardin
Can I post links?
The rules page shows nothing about links, so there is no stated ban. Still, a post that is only a link is the thing people report as spam, so lead with your story or your photo instead.
Should I post in French or English?
The community description is in French, so French is the natural choice. A post in English may still be understood, but writing in French shows respect for the room.
Is my topic on topic?
The description covers gardening, indoor pots, balconies, permaculture, plants, vegetable patches, outdoor furniture and decoration, barbecues, outdoor sports, terraces, pools, DIY and hens. If your topic touches any of those, it fits.
What happens if I break an unwritten rule?
The rules page lists nothing, so I cannot tell you what moderators do here. The moderator guidance asks for relevant and civil posts, so staying inside that is your best protection.
