The fourth annual Seedy Saturday St. John's is happening April 19, 2025, from 10:00am-4:30pm. Join fellow gardeners, homesteaders, and seed savers for a day filled with learning, networking, and seed sharing!
Seedy Saturday will include information booths from a variety of groups and individuals active in the home gardening, homesteading, and food security communities, plus workshops, opportunities to share, trade, and discover seeds, and even a Kids’ Zone with activities and learning for our youngest gardeners. Workshop topics include seed starting and composting. In addition to sharing of seeds, participants are encouraged to bring along any gently used garden tools, books, magazines, etc., they would like to pass along to a new home.
All activities are free of charge. All are welcome, with our without seeds to share! Please note that the Garden’s cultivated areas and trails will not be open during the event.
Seedy Saturdays take place all over the country and have been supported by Seeds of Diversity for more than 30 years. The events are independent and locally organized, with a focus on promoting the continued use of heritage and open-pollinated seeds, education around seed saving and environmentally responsible growing, with an opportunity to participate in a seed exchange.
