MicroHabitat takes root at Le 1500 and the Centre Eaton de Montréal Le 1500 is proud to participate in MicroHabitat's urban agriculture project, which is taking root on the rooftops of Le 1500 and Le Centre Eaton de Montréal. Featuring several pots of seasonal herbs, fruits and vegetables, these urban gardens contribute to the green spaces of downtown Montreal, as well as to sustainable development efforts with the production of 100% ecological and local products. Harvested weekly by MicroHabitat's experienced team, the produce from the gardens not only contributes to improving the environment, but also to the community. Each harvest is donated to Dans La Rue, a local non-profit organization that helps homeless and at-risk youth. To learn more about these urban gardens, visit microhabitat.ca.

1500 is committed to taking concrete action to protect the environment
