Five businesses in the Eastern Townships have donated pots, soil, plants, and labour to bring showcase nature's resilience. Mélanie Gregoire, a partner with Les Serres St-Elie, spearheaded the project and told CBC's Marika Wheeler about how the idea came about. The other companies involved are: Pépinière l'avenir, Fafard, DCM, and Les paysages durables.
