The principle is simple: Come get seeds at the \u00c9co-quartier. Plant them on your balcony or in a strip of land in front of your home. Finally, during your harvest at the end of the summer season, you can in turn contribute to the library by bringing some of your harvested seeds. Based on discussion and sharing, the \u00c9co-quartier Peter-McGill promotes citizens&#8217; awareness of environmental issues by supporting them in ecological initiatives. This project is a great opportunity to learn more about autonomous urban agriculture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><b style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.3800000000000001; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Are you afraid of going about it the wrong way?
