People in the Township of Potton are benefitting from the “Vegetables at Last!” project, funded by the Comité Estrien de saines habitudes de vie.

According to Emilie Turcotte-Côté, an agronomist that works with the committee and owner of Les jardins d’etc, the project is all about providing citizens with the opportunity to take part in different workshops to help them gain knowledge on how to build a garden and incorporate more vegetables in their daily diet. 

As a part of the project, Turcotte-Côté will also be helping Potton residents participating in the municipality’s community garden to equip them with tools and solutions for a productive gardening season, including how to properly prepare seeds. 

Highlighting the importance of the project, Turcotte-Côté told CIDI that there are plenty of at-home gardeners in the region searching for educational opportunities to help answer their questions around gardening.
