📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Since 1993, the residents of Saint-Thérèse and groups from Chantiers jeunesse have worked towards the transformation of an old gravel quarry into a new green space in the heart of the town. Le jardin des sources has become a rich and diverse natural space thanks to the work of many volunteers. One of the ponds has even been called ‘lake Chantiers jeunesse’ in honour of these groups!
