Annual Seedy Saturday And Green Fair. Learn how to live more sustainably, exchange seeds with other seed savers, buy heirloom and organic seeds or join a workshop on sprouting, soil and composting and more. Then stop by one of our local garden clubs’ tables and ask an expert!

This day promises to be fun for everyone. Over 40 tables will include heirloom seed vendors, green exhibits, bee products, worm composting, backyard gardening, garden associations and regional organizations such as LEAF, the TRCA and Rouge Park.

Be a steward and bring in your used electronics for recycling! And there will be kids events too.
