The greenhouse runs occasional workshops. We went to a recent one on growing sprouts & micro-greens.

Inuvik Greenhouse
Written by: Faye
There’s a huge community greenhouse in Inuvik. We got ourselves a plot on our second day in town, before we even had an apartment lined up.
The growing conditions are similar to Tulita: things grow really fast, leafy greens do great, and most plants try to bolt so you have to keep a close eye on them.
Garden Explosion
Written by: Faye
In the past two weeks, the garden has exploded. Contrast photos from June 1, June 30, and July 14:
It’s mostly an insane amount of bok choy and kale growing in almost faster than we can harvest them, but there is also swiss chard under there fighting for some sunlit space. The beans and peas are making a revival, climbing up the remains of their departed brethren. There are also some herbs such as cilantro and dill that are doing pretty well, and a kohlrabi in there somewhere.
We have clearly figured out what grows well up here.
