How do you plant public spaces?

Any person, group or association that undertakes to ensure the establishment and maintenance of a revegetation system may request it, with an obligation to respect Graph written for this purpose. Once the instructions are issued, the files will be able to benefit from municipal services support in its operational phase.

What area can be planted?

Any facility must ensure respect for the preservation of trees, structures, urban furniture, public walkways, the safety of pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles, as well as the accessibility of public spaces.
In-land cultivation is preferred and may be considered at the foot of a building, at the foot of a tree, on small grassy islands, in mineralized areas, such as sidewalks or squares, after the city has removed its coating. . When in-land cultivation is not feasible, revegetation can be carried out in growth containers that can be provided by the city depending on the nature of the project, to comply with the Common Furniture Charter among all regions. The site may also offer its own furniture at its own expense, subject to verification of size and design by the city.

Which types do you prefer?

The holder of a revegetation permit agrees to select plants that will not pose a danger to the public and will not interfere with the development of the species grown by the city. The proposed species must be adapted to the local climate and ensure the role of the ecosystem. The preferred species are in particular small shrubs provided they do not exceed 1 meter in height at maturity, perennials, annuals or biennials, vegetables, aromatic plants (basil, mint, etc.) and small fruits (strawberries for example).

How do you apply?

Applications for greening permits must be submitted online via a form. Project applications can be submitted throughout the year. However, taking into consideration the project screening deadline (October 1st to March 31st of the following year), the seasonality of the farms, the farm manufacturing deadline, any stripping work and the allotted budget, it is highly recommended to submit your project before December 1st of every year. The project leader thus increases his chances of seeing his project succeed in the current planting season.
The project may be individual or group, in which case the greening permit will be granted to the designated project leader.
