After 3 years of being virtual, Seedy Sunday is back to a free, in-person event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

They have moved to a larger location in the downstairs of the Peterborough Square Mall (340 George St. N - where the Farmers’ Market is held on Saturdays) and have lots of space for shoppers to peruse seed selections and talk with seed farmers and other vendors.

There will be a huge diversity of locally grown heirloom vegetable, flower and herb seeds, vermicomposting supplies and bulbs available for purchase. Community groups will be displaying information about their work and providing visitors opportunities to get involved with local food, farming, water and environmental programs.

The Seed Exchange Area is a great place to swap seeds with other growers, pick up some new and unique seed varieties and chat with other seed savers. Educational, hands-on workshops will be offered throughout the afternoon.
