Madeira Park, BCMadeira Park Community Hall Samedi 20 Mars 2010 10-4 Earthsave Sunshine Coast and Seeds of Diversity Canada will be holding the first ever Seedy Saturday in Madeira Park and starting a seed bank in Pender Harbour.
All proceeds will go toward starting an Edible Schoolyard/ Community Garden at Madeira Park Elementary. This is the first step in creating a FOOD SECURE, viable, self reliant community, prepared for any emergency. The theme is “Eat local – Grow Organic Food”
The number of people interested in gardening and growing their own food just keeps expanding. They are concerned about genetically modified food and are looking for local, organically produced seeds for their garden. Seedy Saturday will provide the opportunity for those people to come together and buy or exchange interesting and unusual heritage varieties of vegetable and flower seeds.
We invite you to rent a 3'x8' table at the event. Rental fee is $15 plus a donation for our silent auction, raffle, or door prize; product, gift certificates and or discount coupons are perfect
We are located in B.C Canada, on the Sunshine Coast, an hour North East of Gibsons.
If you are unable to attend, please send pamphlets, brochures and any other material to be placed on a display table, and a donation if possible. We anticipate attendance will be from 300-500 individuals.
