The History of Seedy Saturday

.

"Seedy Saturdays & Sundays" is a national event held across Canada. It was started by individuals who were members Seeds of Diversity. They are a Canadian volunteer organization that conserves the biodiversity and traditional knowledge of food crops and garden plants.

.

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! And they often include speakers and workshops - ranging in discussions from how to plant the seed, to pruning, to creating an urban garden habitat.

.

These events are marked by having the source for your region's best-producing organic and heritage food and flower seeds, often directly from the growers themselves. Most of the events also have seeds of native plants found in your area.
