Join us for our Celebration Soirée on Saturday, October 21, 2023!
Our project of raised indoor garden planters is another way to bring the benefits of nature to those who don't have access to it.
Those raised indoor garden planters are in Residential and Long-Term Care Centres (CHSLD):
Special thanks to Mr. Claude Vallée, from the Institut de technologie agroalimentaire du Québec (ITAQ), St-Hyacinthe campus, who guided the five CHSLD in its choice of plants and in their maintenance.
And soon, our Foundation will be able to announce the production of a unique and innovative model of an adjustable cart/support on wheels for those raised indoor garden planters developed expressly to meet the needs of people with limited mobility.
Another dream of our Founder that is coming true!
...we note amongst the residents a certain curiosity, and perplexity: "A gardening bin for the interior?" "Wow good idea, the residents will love it!!", exclaim the employees...
"The cold earth feels good to the hands," said one lady. "Oh I love the purple plant!" said another....
THANK YOU to the organizations and the Managers responsible of those five CHSLD and professionals who supported this new project and who helped make this dream a reality:
Éric Gagnon, CHSLD Lionel-Émond
Kim Morin, CHSLD Aylmer
Marc-Antoine Dumont, CHSLD Ernest-Brisson
Sophie Bonin, CHSLD Pontiac
Joanie Doucet, CHSLD Benjamin-Victor-Rousselot
Gracita Pickering-Bourdeau, CHSLD Benjamin-Victor-Rousselot
