Seedy Saturday Reminder

March 14, 2010 – 12:10 pm

Seeds are like lipstick. A lipstick purchase is the perfect starting or ending point to a full day of clothes shopping – lots of brands and colours available, you can always find just the right shade for the day or time of year and it’s usually inexpensive. The perfect little gift to yourself. I’m finding that buying seeds provides the same type of pleasure. Lot’s of brands and variety available, you can find just the right new variety or more of the same reliable performers, it’s always inexpensive and the perfect little gift to yourself.

So here’s a shopping opportunity for you next week –  Seedy Saturday in Calgary is happening March 20.

10:00 am through to 4:00 pm
Montgomery Community Centre
5003 16th Avenue NW – Hwy 1 and Home Road

There are over 20 exhibitors confirmed and if you have 2-3 hours to volunteer, organizers are looking for support – contact information is on their website. You can give away or take away clean pots and trays, other gardening supplies, magazines, newsletters and books at the garden Giveaway Table. Bring your stuff by 1:00 pm to allow time for others to choose something to take. So support buying local, track down those special heirloom tomato seeds you’ve been looking for and find a good home for gardening pots and books that you are ready to pass on. See you there.
