Saturday February 27, 2016, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. FREE!
Bring your open-pollinated (non-hybrid) and heirloom seed to TBG’s first Seedy Saturday and go home with a collection of new seed. After registering your seeds, they will go on the seed exchange tables for swapping. Leftover seed from this event will be added to the TBG Seed Library.
Seed will also be available for purchase from local seed vendors, so you can stock up for your 2016 garden. If it’s seed-saving and general garden advice you are after, look no further than the many educational displays, or attend an information session.
Join us at 3 p.m. in the TBG Weston Family Library for a screening of Dirt the Movie! Tickets for this documentary will be available at the registration table and will be discounted for those bringing seed for the exchange.
