Caledon residents are invited to kick off the gardening year at a fun event this March.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 1, the Caledon Public Library (CPL), Albion Hills Community Farm (AHCF), and Palgrave United Community Kitchen (PUCK) will be hosting “Seedy Saturday” at the Caledon East Community Complex.
Laura Nolloth, a coordinator of communications and cultural development for the CPL, said the event will celebrate gardening, sustainability and community.
“This lively, family-friendly event invites everyone — from seasoned gardeners to beginners — to explore eco-friendly practices, traditional gardening techniques, and creative planting ideas,” said Nolloth.
The event will feature a seed and plant swap, free seeds, a seed catalogue, garden-themed kids crafts, a garden-themed book sale, and a cafe provided by PUCK.
Attendees will be able to ask vendors at the event any gardening questions they may have; one of the main purposes of Seedy Saturday is for gardeners to share knowledge and make connections.
“Whether you’re coming for inspiration, resources, or a few good reads, Seedy Saturday has something for everyone,” said Nolloth.
Admission to Seedy Saturday is free, but attendees are asked to bring cash if they would like to make any purchases at the event.
