Because we observe in nature that the collaborative model is the most resilient, a bit like Wikipedia, the entire platform is offered without advertising and in voluntary contribution mode.

Collaboration with Semences du Portage

When I made my transition into the world of herbalism, I visited several gardens. Among the memorable visits, Les Jardins du Grand Portage has a special place. Yves Gagnon and Diane Mackay (herbalist) have created gardens that combine harmony, poetry and productivity. I subsequently devoured Yves Gagnon's books , which are among the reliable sources that feed our databases. Collaborating with the Portage, yes thank you! Because we are only a small team and we want to ensure everyone's satisfaction, we are starting with two initiatives:

Offer a model vegetable garden designed by Yves Gagnon

Benefit from the expertise of a master gardener and receive a plan and instructions from a professional. The vegetable garden comes with all the seeds, as well as Yves Gagnon's recommendations. Once purchased, the design is 100% customizable, and we provide you with all the information you need to apply crop rotations for the next 8 years. To learn more about Yves Gagnon's model garden, read the description and get the garden plan.

Order your seeds directly from your garden inventory.

When designing your garden, select the Semences du Portage filter to prioritize cultivars offered by your favorite seed company. As you design your garden, tisane et jardin maintains an inventory of seeds and plants to purchase. Once your plan is complete, order directly from the plan inventory to Semences du Portage. By ordering your seeds through the app, you receive a discount on your purchases, and a small percentage is donated to support tisane et jardin and continue to keep the platform free and ad-free for everyone.
