About Seedy Saturday
Seedy Saturdays are annual community events held across Canada that celebrate seed saving, gardening, and local food security. Seedy Saturdays are fun, inexpensive events where you can swap and exchange seeds, get exciting varieties that other seed savers are sharing (as well as the stories that come with them), attend workshops and talks, meet vendors and buy seeds from seed companies. Whether you are a first-time or master gardener, seed enthusiast or expert seed saver, there really is something for everyone. Like many other cities across Canada, Regina hosts its own Seedy Saturday on the first Saturday of March each year. For many years, Regina Seedy Saturday was organized by Sharon Pratchler, the current Ombudsperson of Saskatchewan; however, Sharon passed this on to Tayef, who now organizes the event.
