The 2007 Calgary Seedy Saturday is coming...
Mark it on your calendar and don't miss out!

Saturday, March 24, 2007, from 10 am to 3 pm
Admission $2.00 - We accept Calgary Dollars

For more info, go to http://www.uofc-garden.ca.

Come together with prairie gardeners and seed savers to buy, sell, or trade seeds and gardening know-how. This family event will have displays by local seed savers, prairie seed companies, native plant collectors, conservation groups, community gardeners, organic growers; as well as, a seed exchange table, refreshments, presenters, entertainment, and a kids corner. Come get open-pollinated seeds and talk with local farmers and gardeners. Set yourself up for a terrific gardening season!

Let's keep the skill of growing from seed to seed alive in Calgary . As large commercial seed companies consolidate and only offer more hybrids and patented varieties, we increasingly lose the regionally adapted collections that have developed for our unique prairie climate. Help maintain this irreplaceable genetic diversity by growing non-hybridized, open-pollinated varieties. Discover the superior taste of heirloom varieties of vegetables. Learn to save seeds and share them with your neighbour. As you grow them season after season they will adapt and grow that much healthier!

THE LOCATION FOR THE SEEDY SATURDAY IS THE MONTGOMERY COMMUNITY HALL (5003 16 Avenue NW), not the UofC. Can you please change this? Thanks for posting this about the Seedy Saturday event! See you there... Lindsay
