Gardening was the theme of the project, to transfer knowledge into experiences and in turn create skills that can be used in future employment situations. Experiential education approaches were used in many of the pedagogical activities. This type of teaching approach is an innovative means of encouraging and teaching entrepreneurship and collaboration in many different ways. Students and the three campuses learned about planting seeds, gardening skills and how they relate to mental and physical well-being and did so in collaboration with Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO) and CÉGEP de l’Outaouais. The common interest of gardening was used to bridge language barriers and various social, educational and cultural differences. A deeper connection was made with students regarding food security. Leftover food from the harvest was distributed to students and donated to CÉGEP Heritage College’s community fridge.
