Opportunities for involvement

Occasional needs: landscaping chores of the installation of the Promenade des saveurs

In spring and fall, take part in the Promenade des saveurs landscaping chores!

These essential garden chores are the perfect excuse to get some exercise outdoors in a friendly atmosphere!

The tasks are usually demanding: lifting loads, shovelling soil, carrying a wheelbarrow and more.

How can you take part in the landscaping chores of the installation of the Promenade des saveurs?

Fill in the volunteer shift form on our volunteer portal and select the desired time slot.

Time slots will be added to the form in April.

This is a punctual need; you can participate in the installation without signing up for the season.

Types of sessions and gardening schedule

For garden schedules and locations, please see the 2024 season brochure (French only) and calendar below.

To discover the different types of gardening sessions, consult the following sections:

Gardening workshops

Combine theoretical learning with gardening. These workshops begin with a 15-20 minute theoretical section on a specific topic (e.g. tomato pruning).

Maintenance session

Get your hands dirty! Maintenance sessions are an opportunity to take the time to take good care of the garden and to do some of the more time-consuming tasks, such as repairs, staking and weeding.
