We are the Garden at Fritz: Cultivating Community, Nourishing Lives!

Garden at Fritz is a thriving non-profit community garden nestled in the heart of Baie-D’Urfe. Our passionate team is dedicated to cultivating fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, with a noble purpose in mind. We’re not just growing produce; we’re sowing seeds of change, hope, and sustainability in our beloved West Island of Montreal. 

Notre mission se décline en trois volets :

Diminuer l’insécurité alimentaire : A Jardin Fritz, nous reconnaissons l’importante question de l’insécurité alimentaire. Notre mission principale est de lutter contre la faim en fournissant des fruits et légumes frais et biologiques à ceux dans le besoin. Nous nous engageons à garantir que chacun dans notre communauté ait accès à des produits nutritifs et sains.

Viser un écosystème plus vert : Nous croyons en l’interconnexion de toutes les formes de vie. Dans cette optique, nous cultivons non seulement de la nourriture, mais nous créons également un écosystème plus vert. En préservant les plantes et arbres indigènes, nous visons à favoriser un habitat sauvage sain. De plus, nous réduisons activement l’empreinte écologique de notre communauté en proposant à nos résidents des solutions respectueuses de l’environnement telles que le compostage et le recyclage.

Bâtir une communauté forte et inclusive : Le Jardin Fritz est bien plus qu’un simple jardin ; c’est un pôle communautaire actif. Nous sommes dédiés à favoriser l’unité entre des personnes de milieux divers. À travers des séances de travail collaboratif et des ateliers éducatifs et éclairants, nous offrons un espace pour que les individus se réunissent, travaillent ensemble et apprennent les uns des autres. Ensemble, nous cultivons une communauté forte et saine.

• Alleviating Food Insecurity: At Garden at Fritz, we recognize the pressing issue of food insecurity. Our primary mission is to fight hunger by providing fresh, organic fruits and vegetables to those in need. We are committed to ensuring that everyone in our community has access to nutritious, wholesome produce. 

• Nurturing a Greener Ecosystem: We believe in the interconnectedness of all life forms. To this end, we’re not only cultivating food but also creating a greener ecosystem. Through the preservation of native plants and trees, we aim to foster a healthy wildlife habitat. Additionally, we’re actively reducing our community’s ecological footprint by offering eco- friendly solutions such as composting and recycling to our residents.
