Seedy Sunday is Coming Up in Brandon!

Just a few of our potato varieties for sale at Seedy Sunday 2011
Put this in your date book!  Seedy Sunday is March 4, 2012 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM!  It's just a few weeks away.  It's being hosted this year by Samaritan House at 630 Rosser Avenue.  All proceeds from the day will benefit New Era Community School Friendship Garden!  There will be coffee, tea and muffins for sale all day.  There will be seed vendors, including Aagaard Farms with our selection of gourmet potatoes!   I do believe Heritage Harvest Seeds from Carman, MB will be there because I emailed them this morning about picking up our order at Seedy Sunday!  I hope Jim from Prairie Garden Seeds in Saskatchewan will be there again this year because he always has some interesting and rare heirloom seeds!  If you've saved extra seed from you garden bring it along for the Swap Table and try something new!

This year there will be some different information tables at Seedy Sunday; Seeds of Diversity Canada and EcoAction are among them!  I'll keep you updated as more join in.  Blake, the organizer, is also welcoming community groups, gardening groups and vendors such as crafters, bakers and canners!  If you'd like to join in contact Blake at leolotgarden@gmail.com!  Should be a fun day - are you ready to think gardening?

  1. Hi folks! I am Mandy from Mandy's Greenhouse in Tyndall, MB. Would you know whom to contact re- this year's 2015 Seedy Sunday in Brandon? I have some extra rare seeds and would like to join up. I was there in 2014. Had thought to retire, but changed my mind. Just too many varieties would be lost...L0L!
