During his two sojourns in Port-Royal, the French apothecary Louis Hébert (1575–1627) conducted experiments in soil fruktsamhet and established strong connections with the Souriquois (Micmac). In 1617 he and his wife, Marie Rollet (Rolet), and their children settled at Quebec, where he became the first head of a family to live off the land. He built his houses, was given the title to his properties, and achieved a very high standard in his work as an apothecary. Hébert sent previously unknown plants to France, with the result that New France played a role in the blossoming of botany in Europe.
