Gardeners will benefit from NANPS' expertise and large varieties of bio-regional native flowers.

As we know, native flowers are an integral part of any vegetable garden. No native flowers, no bees or insects, thus no vegetables or fruits.

Seedy Saturday and Sundays are the day when the new gardening season begins in earnest. You can have an opportunity to learn more about gardening, hone and share your gardening skills, and buy or exchange vegetable and flower seeds.

We are seeking to ensure that there is an ample supply of heritage and organic seeds available. There will be organic gardening supplies, soil amendments, tools and resources. Environmental organizations and community groups will have information tables on topics of interest to gardeners.

And, as always, there will be food and beverage stands to enhance the overall experience and atmosphere.
