Seedy Saturday March 15 2008

This was a great event. As you can tell by the event calendar, it took a lot of preparation. On February 20th , and march 3rd we got together with other members of the TCGN to clean and pack the seeds we had saved from last year. `

It was held at Scadding court. Besides the seeds exchange and vendors of organic seeds, there were work shops, for seeds starting, and other gardening tips. Some vegetarian restaurants were invited to bring yummy food. This year there was also a room for kids activities.

I had gone to Seedy Saturday last year, and volunteered for TCGN, but this was the first time I had a table with seeds. I didn't know about a price for our seeds, so I decided to tell people they could just give our garden a donation.

I had collected store displays to use for having our seeds and some pictures displayed. I was happy that Kevin and Edward were able to come and help with our table. I had volunteered to sit at the TCGN table, for an hour in the morning, so, I really needed their help. Alison had also come, and she was helping with the TCGN set up. Two other people that helped were Linda and Nao, friends I had met through the TCGN.

I was very happy to see that Roy, Marcel & Anique and Shirley & Grace came to support this event, and to see our display. So at the end of the day we had raised over $100.
