The project is located on Dufresne Street, between Larivière and Rouen streets. An array of edible plants are grown outside there in the summer as the stretch of pavement has been dubbed the Promenade des saveurs, French for Flavour Way.

This in turn makes for delicious eating — a tad sweeter than you might find in a summer garden.
