Message to Members
Don't let the weather deceive you, spring is here... or at least it is at the coop! We're settting things in motion to welcome the gardening season. Our annual seedling sale is in full swing, and you can now consult the offering for 2011 in store or online at www.boutique.cooplamaisonverte.com. Over 100 varieties of Jardin de l'Écoumène seeds are also in store, and are disappearing quickly. We will be stocking up on rain barrels, sprouting trays and domes, organic fertilizers and compost, as well as all the tools you will need for your garden - big or small. Of course, it wouldn't be the coop without some opportunity for knowledge exchange and gatherings! We are preparing a series of workshops through March, April and May. Keep an eye on the coop's blackboard to keep up to date on the events!

Arborescence
Tree of Life workshop hosted by Johanne Dallaire
For all those who wish to reconnect with themselves, the Earth and the trees which populate it.
The creative Tree of Life workshop offers a simple experience, where the creation of your Tree of Life serves as a means of introspection and spontaneous expression.
By means of drawing, assembly, painting, writing and other tools, at your whim - bring your own materials. We explore and stimulate our creativity; express some liberty and a personal visual language; establish links with the group's creative process and share our reflections and discoveries.
The workshop is neither an artistic training nor a therapy. Rather, it is a workshop governed by spontaneity, entertainment and simplicity.
Looking forward to accompanying you -
