Entre Maman, a community center located in Mercier-Hochelaga Maisonneuve focused on developing positive and stimulating projects for new and expecting parents, a space where they can create relationships with other parents and enrich their relationship with their own children.

The collaboration between the Rooftop Garden Project and et Entre Maman began with a group of mothers curious about the world of gardening and determined to make the back yard of Entre Maman a more inviting place for their family.

Nearly 30 self-watering containers and buckets now decorate the paved yard and are cared for by a group of gardeners. Some of these where donated by participants in self-watering container workshops that took place in the spring. Though the garden is maintained collectively the harvest from each container goes to individuals who rented the self-watering container for the season

The Rooftop Garden Project hosts weekly horticulture and nutrition workshops and cooking classes at the Entre Maman garden with the objective is to create a group of well-informed and confident gardeners who can continue the project without assistance for years to come.
