Seedy Saturday

March 3, 2012 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Canadian Mennonite University, South Campus
600 Shaftesbury Blvd, (South of Grant)  Winnipeg

Friends of Gardens Manitoba are into our second decade of hosting Seedy Saturday.  Those who have attended over the years know the special joys of this mid-winter celebration of seeds and prairie gardeners. If you haven't yet experienced Seedy Saturday, join us this year and discover it for yourself.

At Winnipeg's 12th annual Seedy Saturday, find inspiration for your garden, learn about local biodiversity and global conservation issues, and take part in the community seed exchange. Lots of seeds for sale too! You can drop in any time during the event to check out vendors,displays, presentations and conversations.

Volunteers from Friends of Gardens Manitoba , the Winnipeg Community Garden Network and Seeds of Diversity Canada join forces to present our popular local version of this national phenomenon.
Our Seedy Saturday brings together gardeners, farmers, seed growers and seed savers, native plant enthusiasts, conservation groups, horticultural societies - anyone ready to dream about spring in the company of friends, for a day of great connections and new ideas.

At the heart of every Seedy Saturday is the seed swap. Bring your seeds, roots, plants and stories to share.

 

 

 

 

 

The new location at CMU- South Campus  600 Shaftesbury Blvd.

(note the South Campus is not the same building where Gardening Saturday happens!) offers lots of room, is accessible by public transport and is beautifully located on the edge of Assiniboine Forest.

 

 

 

 

Admission is by donation - suggested minimum $2.00.

Seedy Saturday is designed to be a grassroots event accessible to a wide community, and we have always kept expenses and fees very low. The reality of the new location means we have bigger bills to pay, so the  donation box must take on a more prominent role. See you there!
