Des jardins sur les toits est un projet d' Alternatives, un réseau d'action et de communication pour le développement international.
Come participate in our work session next Thursday July 6 (4–7pm) and attend the third summer workshop in the garden : Plant health.
Ever wonder what those weird brown spots are on the bottom of your tomatoes? Come learn the basics of urban plant health growing in containers - how to identify diseases, deficiencies, bugs and excesses of nutrients and what to do about it! Join us! New volunteers welcome!
The EnChanted Garden is a series of workshops that will take place every tuesday on the roof where we will have fun with singing, improvisation, and movement. We'll sing for the plants and see if it makes them grow better! (I know it'll make us grow better). We invite everyone of any musical ability to join us in song and play. Remember, if you can talk you can sing, if you can walk you can dance!
Join us for the second meeting of the Jets, the Rooftop Garden discussion group! We’ll hear from three members of the project who went to the World Urban Forum, and discuss the role of municipal governments in urban agriculture and greening. The event is also a potluck, so come share food and get to know us !
Hey ! Psst ! Don’t go away, I have a question for you !
Do you think that plants grow better when they receive love and joy ?
I don’t know either, that’s why we’ve proposed a new experiment on the roof :
Virginie Baysse invites you to join her on the roof to find out. Come exactly as you are, it doesn’t matter if you know how to sing or dance or not. We’re just going to have fun together playing with sounds, movements and sharing our joy with the plants.
When: Every Wednesday, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm
Price: $10 ($8 for volunteers). Some proceeds go to Santropol Roulant. 5-class passes also available.
Starts: June 28, 2006
Contact: Jayme, 261-YOGA
The next volunteer orientation is planned on Saturday July 22, 10:30am in the garden (about one hour). If you want to participate in this orientation, contact Amélie by email at jardin@santropolroulant.org or by phone at 286-5115.
This invitation is principally for new volunteers and volunteers who have taken part in a few activities this season but have never attended a presentation of the project.
Join us on the rooftop (4750 Henri-Julien) to discover the garden and its partners! Get involved!

Everyone is invited to the BBQ on August 3 from 5pm to 9 :30pm. It'll be the party of the year on the roof! Come danse, eat and celebrate with us during this benefit for the Santropol Roulant. See the attached poster for more information.
Also, we need lots of volunteers to make this event a success! We need BBQ chefs, security, bartenders, and food ticket sales people. Sign-up for volunteer shifts at the garden or at the Roulant!
