Managing Director

From apprentice to the top

Elisabeth Simon is Managing Director of Fuchs baut Gärten GmbH and Fuchs Service GmbH – and proof that with us, you can grow from apprentice all the way to the management team. Her path took her through her journeyman years and her master craftsman qualification in landscape gardening to the top of both companies.

Grown from within

Her entire career has been in Lenggries: after completing her secondary school leaving certificate (Quali) at the Mittelschule Lenggries, she began her apprenticeship as a landscape gardener at Fuchs baut Gärten – followed by her journeyman years and master craftsman school for landscape gardening. From 2008 she managed garden maintenance from the office as a master gardener, and in 2025 she moved up into the management of both companies – the first person to have taken this path entirely in-house. For our apprentices, her journey is the best argument we have.

She prepares for leadership the way we prepare for building: through craftsmanship. At the Akademie der Gärtner von Eden she completed the leadership programme “Führung auf Kurs”, and she is currently working with coach Imke Leith – this includes joint workshops at the office, and she is preparing the next one herself.

Her focus is garden maintenance: she is responsible for the year-round maintenance of almost 300 gardens – from private gardens to company grounds – and more than 150 projects have been completed under her site management. She runs Fuchs Service GmbH together with Balbina Fuchs.

Together with Balbina and Ludwig Fuchs, she forms the three-person management of the family business – find out more about us.
