NEW - MY SPACE FOR LIFE GARDEN
Be sure to stop by the booth for our new program, My Space for Life Garden, offering three types of garden for your home: the Biodiversity Garden, promoting Québec-native plants and banishing the use of all pesticides and chemical fertilizers; the Bird Garden, which is sure to attract birds by providing them with a place to feed and find shelter; and the Monarch Oasis, an inviting place for these flamboyant Lepidoptera. With this program, you'll learn how to create a garden by growing plants on your balcony or up a wall of your house. espacepourlavie.ca/en/my-garden
