The Promenade Desjardins at the Qu\u00e9bec City Convention Centre now features a new urban garden and planters for the 2023 summer season. A total of 40 self-irrigating planters have been set up to grow a variety of edible vegetables, herbs and flowers.

Encouraging urban agriculture, fostering pollination and adding greenery to this concrete space, the project was carried out in collaboration with Urbainculteurs<\/a>, a non-profit organization working since 2009 to create green living environments, engage in the transition towards more eco-friendly practices and support food security. This same partnership contributed to developing a garden on the roof of the Convention Centre in 2013 with Alv\u00e9ole’s<\/a> pollinating bee hives in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Harvests from the new Promenade Desjardins\u2019s garden will also supply the Executive Chef of Maestro Culinaire, the Convention Centre’s exclusive food and beverage partner<\/a>, and various Qu\u00e9bec City food banks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The new Promenade Desjardins urban garden is adjacent to other planters that have existed since the Qu\u00e9bec City Convention Centre\u2019s opening in 1996. For this portion, maintenance and harvest management are provided by the team at Universit\u00e9 Laval’s Roger-Van den Hende Botanical Garden. Flowers and plants are grown here, as well as herbs and vegetables that are donated to community organizations, such as Lauberivi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
