Seedy Saturdays!

Winter is halfway done and it’s time to start thinking about spring planting. Whether you have a whole garden to play in, a plot at the local community garden, or just a small balcony herb garden – you can take advantage of one of many local “Seed Swap” events. 

Originating in 1989 in British Columbia, these grass-roots-organized events are designed to allow gardeners of every type to save seeds from their previous year’s plantings to exchange with each other. This promotes open pollination and the spread of heritage crops within the community.

Look out for your local chapter’s Seedy Saturday or Seedy Sunday to start planning your garden!
