Seed swappers, gardeners, growers, and gawkers alike are welcome to the annual Seedy Saturday. This year, we will feature live music, and presentations on getting your seeds started right, waking your garden from winter, and saving your own seeds.

If you want to swap, share, or sell your seeds, email david@ecosociety.ca to register for a table. Registration is by donation. Please plan to label your seeds to let customers know if they are organic, heritage, and/or pesticide/herbicide free. Set up begins at 8:30.

Please join us on Friday Dec 9 for the annual EcoSociety Holiday Party!

This year, the party will be at the Seed Studios, upstairs from Reo’s at 607 Front St in Nelson.

Please bring a dish to share, and an instrument (or your singing voice) if you’d like to join our jamboree.

We will get started at 5:30 and go until we stop! Please stop by for a pleasant social opportunity with other EcoSociety members, volunteers, staff, board members, and other supporters.

I look forward to seeing you there!

The Garden Festival is a wonderful place to buy seeds, starts, and other garden needs. Often times you will be buying directly from the grower or seed saver.
