It all has to do with the prevalence of manure in both modalities.
There is in fact a community garden on the grounds of the botanic garden.
It's pretty big and a great example of what happens when government builds a
community garden (some good, some not).

Cheryl, Kyla,
Sometimes it all comes together like in Montreal where the mayor, Pierre
Bourque was their parks boss, as mayor helped build the biodome, added
funding to the botanical gardens and is a champion of greening and community
gardening. I believe there is a children's garden/community garden on the
site of the Montreal Jardin Botanique.

Again, what can I say? Community gardening is 50% gardening and 100%
political.
