Gardens4Good's mission is to protect health and the planet by promoting the many benefits of food gardens.

The aim of the pilot project "Le Potager Annie Girardot" is to share the benefits of food gardening with vulnerable, elderly people, and in particular residents suffering from Alzheimer's disease, in order to demonstrate the many benefits of food gardening, particularly for health and the planet, to the general public, elected representatives and public authorities.

Our values are:

• Our activity is non-profit and our management is disinterested and transparent

• Our vegetables and berries are made available free of charge to all vulnerable people living in establishments where we have a food garden

• We are always positive, caring and respectful

• We are constantly innovating to promote social inclusion and solidarity

• We prevent waste by acting with simplicity, sobriety and efficiency

His technical approach is to combine innovations in environmental protection and intensive food gardening, in order to rethink and optimize food systems.
