THE ISLE OF TREASURES
EDUCATIONAL GARDEN PROJECT
The mission of the Isle of Treasures is to provide a platform to educate the community about growing your own food and how to cook it once you’ve grown it, with an emphasis on sustainability and youth education.
LEARN ABOUT
THE ISLE OF TREASURES
The Isle of Treasures is located in an enclosed patio behind The Space Concert Club and it is currently in its second season of operation.
The Isle of Treasures aims to bring the community together by providing an educational platform to demonstrate growing food creatively and sustainably in small, non-traditional spaces and how to use the food once it is grown.
Community building and education are at the crux of the garden’s purpose.
