Kingston's 3rd Annual Seedy Saturday invites you to a seed networking and education event for both novice and experienced gardeners. If you are interested in open-pollinated and heritage seed, seed saving, biodiversity in your garden and food security, this is the place for you! Attendees are encouraged to bring their own well-labeled, saved seed to trade at the seed exchange table. Seed from "Seed Savers Exchange" and a select number of local seed companies will be available for purchase along with several varieties of Canadian-bred foundation seed.
