Seedy Saturday is a day of seed swapping and information sharing for community groups, gardeners and farmers. The idea behind this event is to promote regional food self-sufficiency by growing a community network of growers and seed savers.
Eight garden-related workshops are held throughout the event. Community information tables manned by dozens of enthusiastic volunteers offer useful tips and guidance on topics like market gardening, permaculture, composting, and bee-keeping. The event has also expanded into the sale of seeds, fertilizers and garden-related products by vendors in the Upper Hallway of the Recreation Complex. This family friendly event includes a children’s activity corner and a Seedy Cafe, as well as a popular Silent Auction.
