Qualicum Beach Seedy Saturday kicks off the season with its annual seed swap event, February 6.
For those fortunate enough to be on Vancouver Island this weekend, don’t miss one of the garden events of the season: The Qualicum Beach Seedy Saturday.
GardenWise columnist Carolyn Herriot (pictured), who has a brand-new book coming out this spring, will share invaluable tips on working toward a “Zero-Mile Diet” of fresh organics from your own garden. If you miss her 11:45 a.m. presentation, catch her for a chat at her Seeds of Victoria booth.
Another GardenWise contributor, Linda Gilkeson, will be sharing strategies for squeezing as many vegetables as is humanly possible in a teeny-tiny space. Catch her at 10:30 a.m., or if you’re around on the Friday evening (February 5), join her at 7 p.m. to learn about year-round gardening.
Knowing both these delightful and knowledgeable gardeners, I can tell you it’s worth attending the show just to hear from them alone. Still, there’s much more to enjoy:
According to Birgitta Mick of the Qualicum Beach Seedy Saturday Association, the show will be a very healthy mix of organic farmers, seed growers, nurseries and plants people including Master Gardeners.
Last year’s show drew more than 1,800 people, forced to trudge through the snow to get there. With this February’s surprise sunshine, there is even more reason to get into the gardening groove.
