The garden Skrúður was officially opened in 1909. In 1992, a group of people decided on their own to restore the garden, and in 1996 they formally returned the garden to its owner – the Ministry of Education. In November of the same year the ministry handed over the garden to the town of Ísafjörður to own and care for. The formal aim of the garden is to be a memorial to itself and to the concept of school gardens where the sustaining of nature’s bounty and environmental education are linked to the operations of public schools.
