An open garden or jardin libre is a gardening space made available to the community by the Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie borough, with no need to register and no cost for the space.

Description

Any Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie residents who are interested can have access to the garden in early spring. They can claim a small garden plot to cultivate for the season, while space is available.

Each gardener buys their own seedlings, cultivates and maintains them throughout the season, and reaps their own harvest. 

The following year, all the plots are returned to the community so that new people can enjoy them.

Current gardeners are invited to connect with each other via the Les jardins du parc Beaubien Facebook group.

Operating hours

The garden is open from sunrise to sunset.

Rules to follow

Please follow these simple rules to ensure everything runs smoothly and everyone enjoys their garden:

  • Respect the boundaries of the allocated garden spaces
  • Grow annual vegetables only (no perennials)
  • Maintain your garden regularly and keep unwanted weeds under strict control 
  • Pick up your garbage, put green waste in the garden composters, and take the rest home for residential collection
  • Don’t let fruit and vegetables rot in your garden
  • Empty the garden at the end of the season
  • Don’t move or modify equipment provided by the borough (tables, etc.)
