The Backyard Abundance Garden Guru program offers free gardening education at public, Iowa City gardens to encourage wellness and eco-friendly practices. Classes in 2020 are designed to help communities cope with the COVID-19 pandemic and occur virtually, until it is safe to meet again.
Hope and wellness can be found by going outside and getting your feet and fingers in the soil. This is one activity that is still allowed and it may be exactly what is needed for long-term well-being.
Join our team as a volunteer videographer to foster hope and healing with your strong filming skills, creativity and artistic vision.

Personal
Most everyone feels a desire to improve the health of our environment, but when faced with our monumental environmental problems the task seems too large and understanding how to proceed can feel overwhelming. In recognition of this frustration, Backyard Abundance was founded to provide you with the knowledge and tools needed to directly improve the health of our local environment.
Unique
No other Iowa organization teaches residents how to take small steps that transform the outdoors into spaces that demonstrate our ability to live in harmony with nature. Deep and lasting satisfaction comes from the daily observation of personally-made environmental improvements. This personal connection with a landscape evokes a strong desire to share actions and knowledge, quickly spreading our mission in a positive, grassroots way.
