Wrap up from Seedy Saturday 2010
Nearly 300 excited gardeners came out to CGC’s 2nd annual Seedy Saturday to plan their plots, discover new seed varieties, attend workshops and exchange community-saved seed. 18 vendors were on hand including Seeds of Victoria and Saltspring Seeds. Shannon Wilson’s workshop on starting seeds was a hit and resulted in a sharp rise in demand for soil blockers in the Valley.
