Iceland Teaching Garden
The Iceland Teaching Garden offers 15,000 sq. ft. of urban agriculture space on public land for community programming. As Ecosource’s flagship site for urban agriculture training, it engages community members, primarily youth, in learning about organic & sustainable growing practices and inspiring nature connection. The site is cultivated following organic principles that focus on soil health, ecosystem well-being, and biodiversity. The garden is located along Jan’s Trail in the park behind Iceland Arena.
Get Involved at our Iceland Teaching Garden!
At Ecosource, we believe that getting people outside and getting their hands in the dirt is an integral part of encouraging environmentally aware citizens. The Iceland Teaching Garden is planted and maintained by community volunteers working collectively to donate thousands of pounds of fresh food to local food banks each year.
Since 2010, The Iceland Teaching Garden has featured drop-in style youth and educational workshops for community, school, and corporate groups. Gardening workshops, planting projects, and field trips provide hands-on learning opportunities related to garden stewardship, ecosystems, native plants and climate action. They are also a great way to share a team-building, fun experience while giving back to the community.
