Visit
the Inuvik Community Greenhouse,
home of the Community Garden Society of Inuvik
and thousands of plants! A project that germinated
in 1998, the facility (a conversion of an
old arena) is the most northern greenhouse
in North America and the only community greenhouse
of its kind in the world. The purpose of
the greenhouse is to ensure a more successful
harvest and allow production of a greater
variety of crops in an area where fresh economical
produce is often unavailable. The building
houses two areas: raised community garden
plots available to residents; and a 4,000
sq. ft. commercial greenhouse. The Inuvik
Community Greenhouse will serve as an effective
model for other northern communities. Located
at the corner of Loucheux Rd. and Breynat
St., behind the Igloo Church.
