Join us for an indoor community picnic at the Reykjavik City Library!  

The people of Seljagarður community garden are our picnic hosts and they are inviting you to celebrate the 10 year old birthday of Seljagarður this year over free cakes and coffee in the library!

- Introduction of Seljagarður, a community garden and greenhouse located in Jöklasel.
- Official opening of the Gerðuberg Seed Library, a collaboration between Seljagarður and Gerðuberg Library.
- Coffee and cake.

Everyone Welcome!

Seljagarður was founded in 2014 by volunteers and residents of Seljahverfi and Breiðholt. In recent years, there has been a large increase in the number of growers and there are currently around 60 of them. This community garden offers the opportunity  to grow indoors as well as outdoors. There is a lot on offer in the common spaces, growing beds with an abundance of rhubarb, mint and other herbs, a seating area around a fireplace and facilities for Seljgarð residents to grill and enjoy life. Please stop by Seljagarður to say hello and contact us if you are interested in becoming a part of this community garden. www.seljagardur.is

Everyone is welcome to bring some snacks and a blanket and sit on our cosy grassy green surface under some parasols.
