In 1991, an Environmental Youth Alliance developed an organic youth garden in an abandoned lot in Vancouver. Their goal is sustainable food production in a crowded urban environment.
Food is grown there to supplement the group s diets.
Trees, flowers and herbs are also grown. The garden is used by many people. Passers-by are encouraged to stroll through it and learn from it. 4MI Students from the Eco-Teens group in Indonesia use compost from local rubbish and seeds gathered in local forests to replant deforested areas. Once the seed has grown and is ready to move, they plant it out in a community where there are not many trees.
