Our most recent baby, the rooftop garden at the UQAM design building, has arrived! Named after the militant environmentalist Claire Morissette and installed and planted at the end of June, this latecomer on the 6th floor, is a true urban garden with an amazing view of downtown and Mount Royal.

Our humble vegetables will grow amongst the industrial landscape of the terrasse constructed by the Montreal architect Hanganu. We hope that UQAM students will be inspired by our initiative to contribute to integrating urban agriculture into our urban culture and to the built environment.

Gardening sessions will take place Mondays from 4 to 7pm and Thursdays from 10:30 am. to 12:30 pm. Come enjoy the beautiful sunset!

Fruits and vegetables from this garden are donated to UQAM's daycare.
For more information contact Anne: jardins.designuqam@hotmail.com.
