The University of Québec is offering an area of 500m2 on the roof of their building at 4750 Henri-Julien in the Plateau Mont-Royal district of Montréal for our use this season, with Mme. Lise Parent (professor of environmental studies) overseeing the project. Situated on the roof of a university, the garden will be well placed to serve as a model for other educational structures, private and public alike.
