Seedy Saturdays are a phenomenon held all over Ontario and across the country, and we are proud to continue hosting this popular spring event in our bustling community. These events bring together both new and seasoned gardeners, seed savers and community members passionate about mindful gardening, food security and our environment.
Not to be missed this year: Learn the secrets to creating healthy soil for your plants and how to grow your own edible gourmet mushrooms. Ask local master gardeners all your gardening questions. Bring your kids to an interactive story time to celebrate the growing season. Create a garden-themed project in the library’s hackLAB. Get seeds for purchase and free of charge from exhibitors including the Innisfil Seed Library, reopening for its ninth season. Buy a bee house, wild bird food, organic compost, naturally dyed fabric and so much more.

As always, we’re offering free activities including expert presentations, story time for children and a project in the library’s hackLAB.
