7th Annual Saltair Seedy Saturday

Spring is on the way, and that means it’s time for Seedy Saturday at Saltair Community Centre in Saltair

Now in its seventh year, this community favourite brings gardeners, growers, and the garden-curious together to share planting knowledge, garden related items, seeds, plants, veggie starts, and a little early-season optimism. Expect locally grown seeds, friendly conversations, and plenty of inspiration for the months ahead.

Come connect, swap, and start the growing season together, one seed at a time.
