What is Seljagarður Urban Farm?
At Seljagarður, it is possible to rent garden plots - the only place in the city that offers both outdoor plots and plots inside a greenhouse.
Seljagarður was founded in 2014 by volunteers and residents of Seljahverfi and Breiðholt.

This event is part of our Spring Festival in the Freeshop in Gerðuberg: Wake up Spring. We celebrate the cycle of nature and welcome you to various different events related to spring activities. The Freeshop in Gerðuberg is a free community space where all items are available at no cost. Visitors can bring items in good condition that they no longer need and take home things they do need.
