Encouragement
This new program replaces the Public Housing Green Thumbs contest that was held over the past 15 years. Our goal is simple: encourage public housing tenants, to make their environment green, fill it with flowers and vegetables and beautify their community.
Mutual Assistance
Rather than emphasizing competition, this new program promote mutual assistance and training among neighbours. The OMHM supports club members by organizing two prize draws in which more than 125 nursery gift certificates, worth about $15,000, will be awarded. The first will be held June 14. More than 30 prizes, along with subscriptions to Amis du Jardin botanique, will be handed out.
Giving Back
The second draw, in September, will maintain an important and popular tenant activity: an event in Montréal's Botanic Garden. Albert Mondor, well known author and horticulturalist, will host this final draw of the season.
Training
All Club member who so desire can also be visited by a horticultural student who will provide advice for specific projects and help members achieve outstanding results.
