"Seedy Saturdays & Sundays" is a national event held across Canada. It was started by individuals who were members Seeds of Diversity. Every Seedy Saturday & Sunday event has a place where you can donate or exchange your clean and labeled packaged seeds at a "Seed Exchange Table". This is the heart of the event!

For Vendors and non-profit organizations that still wish to to register and have a table at any of the Seedy Saturday or Sunday events, please contact seedy.saturday.vendors@gmail.com for general information. As well, please contact the individual sites to see if there is still room.. There is no guarantee that space will be available at every location, though we hope to accommodate everyone interested at at least one event.
The deadline for table registration is Friday February 3rd - 5 pm, but the earlier you get in touch, the better your chances of securing a spot.
