The borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro inaugurated its first solidarity garden on September 18, 2023. This project, carried out in collaboration with the West Island Mission organization, is cultivated by volunteers and has several objectives:
- Raise public awareness of food insecurity
- Fight against heat islands
- Promote biodiversity
- Strengthen the social fabric of neighbourhoods
To reach them, the garden will grow a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs and then redistribute them to families in need.
But that’s not all !
It is also a place for meeting and sharing. The volunteers who cultivate it are all passionate about urban agriculture and they are happy to share their know-how with visitors.
So, if you want to spend a pleasant time outdoors, learn about urban agriculture or simply enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, go to the Pierrefonds-Roxboro solidarity garden!
