The first garden was created in 1991 with the objective to enable adults with difficulties to fin a job and to (re)build a personal project through the production and distribution of fruits and vegetables. The number of direct beneficiaries reached 3 000 in 2010.
The Foundation has been supporting the association financially since 2008. 503 000 € were indeed given and invested in the creation and consolidation of various gardens and in the purchase og agricultural material.
The partnership goes on in 2012 with a 200 000 € donation from the Foundation which are going to be used to start a project of creation of a formation center.
