About this Event

Un moment convivial pour échanger avec des spécialistes autour de sujets environnementaux actuels.


Pour ce premier épisode, nous accueillons Hélène Hébert, autoentrepreneure spécialisée dans la culture de potager bio en ville.

🌷Avec l’arrivée du printemps à Ottawa, le moment semble idéal pour commencer un potager chez soi, peu importe l’espace dont on dispose. Pour cela, rien de mieux que les conseils d’une experte dans le domaine.

L’occasion d’échanger autour du choix des plantes, des contraintes réelles (équipement, espace, temps, budget), des erreurs fréquentes, et des solutions adaptées au contexte urbain d’Ottawa et Gatineau.


👉 Vous repartirez avec :

✔️ une liste courte de cultures “rentables” en petit espace,

✔️un plan simple pour démarrer (intérieur + extérieur),

✔️des pistes concrètes pour récolter plus souvent, avec moins d’efforts.


📅Mercredi 27 mai

🕚 18h-20h

📍 Alliance Française Ottawa – 352 rue Maclaren

🎙️Come discover our new eco-friendly event format: the Ecolo Café!

A friendly gathering to discuss current environmental issues with experts.

For this first episode, we’re welcoming Hélène Hébert, a self-employed entrepreneur specializing in urban organic gardening.

🌷With spring arriving in Ottawa, now seems like the perfect time to start a home garden, no matter how much space you have. For this, there’s nothing better than advice from an expert in the field.

This is an opportunity to discuss plant selection, practical constraints (equipment, space, time, budget), common mistakes, and solutions tailored to the urban context of Ottawa Gatineau area.


👉 You’ll leave with:

✔️ a short list of “high-yield” crops for small spaces,

✔️ a simple plan to get started (indoor + outdoor),

✔️ practical tips for harvesting more often with less effort.
