Seed Exchange and Eco-Fair goes February 23rd

North Bay Seed Exchange Organizing Committee
News Release

********************

Designed for the home gardener and/or gardening enthusiast, the 2013 North Bay Seed Exchange and Eco-Fair will be held in North Bay at St. Andrew's United Church, 399 Cassells Street on Saturday, February 23 from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Entry to this event is free but we encourage attendees to bring a non-perishable food item for the food bank.

This year we are proud to have two exceptional keynote speakers. The first is our very own Nanditta Colbear, a writer for Community Voices, who will be talking about her journey to gardening excellence.


We also have the wonderful Steven Martyn who will be taking about wildculturing, a topic which encompasses permaculture and wildcrafting.


As always, there will be a room set aside for the exchange/purchase of seeds, along with gardening experts on-hand. If you don't have seeds to trade in the seed exchange room you can still buy some for $0.25 a package.


Please label your seed packages with as much information as you can for the information of the next person that gets your seeds (see a commercial seed package).


There will also be room full of local vendors which sell anything from seeds to CSA shares and everything in between.


Here is a list of vendors participating as of February 1, 2013: Transition Town North Bay and Area,City of North Ba, Kim McIntosh, Harvest Moon Herb Farm, Greening Nipissing,Midlothian Valley Farm, Tom's Woodworking, Wearable Treasures from the Shores of Lake Nipissing, Holden's Hideaway Farm, Field Good Farms, North Bay Horticultural Society, North Bay Youth Horticultural Society, Brenda Scott, Sandhill Cranes Farms, Community Waterfront Friends, Indigo Farm, Board's Honey Farm, Piebird B&B / Soggy Creek Seeds, Dalew Farms, Heritage Gardeners
