Spring comes earliest to gardeners!  It’s time to germinate your ideas and seeds for the coming growing season.   Join fellow garden enthusiasts at Saskatoon’s 12^th Annual Seedy Saturday!

What: Seedy Saturday brings together people of all ages and experiences to collect and share their own open pollinated seed stock, and to encourage planting of heirloom varieties while learning about the importance of biodiversity and sustainability in the context of food gardening.  Ten new exhibitors will join twenty others to highlight products and issues related to gardening, sustainable living and food security.  The afternoon will also feature a knowledgeable group of speakers on subjects ranging from water-wise gardening techniques, tips to extend the season, issues that surround seed sovereignty and of course, how to save seeds.  The SaskTel Mendel Art Caravan will be there to provide children’s art activities. There is free on-site childcare for pre-schoolers.  CHEP showcases its commitment to good food with a nutritious and delicious lunch of vegetarian chili, salad, artisan breads for $2.00 or pay what you can.   A list of exhibitors, presentation times, and special events are on the website www.chep.org.

Where: Princess Alexandra School, 210 Avenue H South

When: Saturday March 13, 2010

Cost: $2.00 Admission or pay what you can; $2.00 Lunch or pay what you can.

Attention Gardeners! Don’t forget that there is a seed exchange table.  Contribute leftover seeds from last year, bring seeds to share that you saved from last year’s crop.  We are also happy to accept old gardening magazines in bundles of 6 to add to our swap table.  If you have extra time that day, we are still looking for volunteers - it’s such a great event you may want to stay all day!  Please share the news with others.
