Pickering, ON, January 14, 2010
Calling all gardeners! If you've had enough of salting and shovelling for the season, get ready to dream of spring and attend the 3rd Annual Seedy Saturday Garden Show. The event takes place on Saturday, February 6 at East Shore Community Centre, and includes displays and seminars with more than 30 local vendors and garden associations and a seed swap. Get answers to your garden questions from the Durham Master Gardeners. Have a coffee or lunch at the Seedy Café, buy some heritage seeds or a nifty new garden gadget and get a jump on spring.
This event is hosted by Bloomers & Britches, the heritage gardeners of the Pickering Museum Village. While the Museum gardens sleep under their soft white blanket of snow, these gardeners will be out in full force at Seedy Saturday and will be glad to welcome new volunteers or to give information about the Museum Village gardens.
Seedy Saturday takes place Saturday, February 6, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, at East Shore Community Centre, 910 Liverpool Road South, Pickering. Admission $3, bring seeds to swap if you have any, free parking. For more information, call 905.683.8401
