Cantaloup garden
 nce
upon a time there was a melon... called
the Montreal Melon. And it was grown all
over NDG until the Second World War. The
Melon was famous all over North America
and fetched a dollar a slice in fancy
New York restaurants in 1905. And then
in disappeared... The Cantaloup Garden
pays tribute to our local NDG heritage.
The garden produces Montreal Melons - as
well as over 175 varieties of heirloom
vegetables, fruits and herbs. Located on
the grounds of the YMCA-NDG, the
Cantaloup brings together 35 gardeners
in a collective effort. We are 100%
organic, and use a permaculture system
of no-till raised beds in half the
garden.
