The Gardens respond to COVID-19

2020-03-18

Like other cultural organizations and tourism attractions, Les Jardins de Métis is complying with government regulations and public health directives as they are made public. Our operations are currently unaffected. Our team of dedicated staff are working at a distance from their home offices. In spite of extenuating circumstances, we will be doing our best to provide services to members and follow up efficiently.

All planned events to be held in April and March are cancelled. A return to regular scheduling will await the green light from the government of Québec before holding public events.

Can I visit the Gardens for a walk?
Members are welcome to visit the gardens for a walk between 9 am and 4 pm on weekdays only.

Is the International Garden Festival cancelled?
We still intend on holding the International Garden Festival; it will open to the public on Saturday, June 20.

Are the offices open?
The offices at the Gardens are open from 9 am to 5 pm. Staff are being encouraged to work from home. All visitors will be asked to wash their hands and apply disinfectant on their arrival.

Can I still apply for a job or a summer job?
Yes, we are still taking applications for positions at the gardens. Follow this link (http://www.refordgardens.com/Career-and-Internship/) to inquire about positions or send us your resume at recrutement@jardinsdemetis.com

Can I purchase my 2020 membership?
Absolutely. You can purchase your 2020 membership card online by clicking here (http://www.refordgardens.com/Season-Pass-/) . Please note that the 2020 pass gives you access to the Gardens all year long (weekdays during the offseason period). The next 100 members will receive a pot of honey from the Gardens.

Can I make deliveries to the Gardens?
Deliveries can be made to the gardens between 9 am and 5 pm every day.

Sanity measures
All visitors are invited to sanitize their hands upon arrival and to use disinfecting product in the washroom. They are also asked to avoid hand contact, phones, buttons and door knobs.
