Community permaculture initiative

Protech Construction's permaculture project

At Protech Construction, we’re always looking for innovative ways to promote sustainability and well-being in our community. With this in mind, we have launched a permaculture project on the land between our head office and the neighbouring building housing Laforge Environnement Inc. and Medi Canada.

A new initiative that embodies our values of sustainability and well-being!

What is permaculture?

Permaculture is an ecological approach that draws on natural models to create sustainable systems. It promotes plant diversity, soil health and waste reduction. In other words, permaculture seeks to work with nature rather than against it.

Our permaculture project focuses on planting and growing berries such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and redcurrants. We also grow kale, lettuce, basil and tomatoes. These crops not only benefit the environment, they also provide a source of fresh fruit and vegetables for our employees.

Participation and community involvement

We actively encourage employees of all three companies to take part in this project. Whether it’s helping to maintain the crops or simply enjoying the harvested fruit, everyone can find a way to get involved. This project offers a unique opportunity to learn sustainable gardening skills while strengthening ties within our community of business neighbors.

Conclusion

Protech Construction’s permaculture project perfectly embodies our values of sustainability and well-being. We’re proud of this initiative and can’t wait to see the fruits of our labor! We hope this project will inspire other companies to adopt similar practices for the good of our city and our communities.

By adopting permaculture practices, we contribute to the health of our local environment.

This project creates moments of sharing and collaboration between the employees of the three companies.

Taking part in gardening activities has positive effects on both mental and physical health.

Home-grown fruit and vegetables offer a healthy and delicious alternative to industrial snacks.
