Horticultural Fair

This activity is part of the rendez-vous intergénérationnels.

The Ville de Vaudreuil-Dorion has been organizing the Horticultural Fair since 2020. Citizens can come and pick up compost, wood chips, eco-friendly grass seeds, shrubs, small trees, and more. Once planted, these plants will contribute to greening and beautifying the city.
