This family event will have displays by local seed savers, prairie seed companies, native plant collectors, conservation groups, community gardeners, organic growers; as well as, a seed exchange table, refreshments, presenters, entertainment, and a kids corner. Come get open-pollinated seeds and talk with local farmers and gardeners. Set yourself up for a terrific gardening season!</p><p>Let&#39;s keep the skill of growing from seed to seed alive in Calgary . As large commercial seed companies consolidate and only offer more hybrids and patented varieties, we increasingly lose the regionally adapted collections that have developed for our unique prairie climate. Help maintain this irreplaceable genetic diversity by growing non-hybridized, open-pollinated varieties. Discover the superior taste of heirloom varieties of vegetables. Learn to save seeds and share them with your neighbour. As you grow them season after season they will adapt and grow that much healthier!</p><p>If you don&#39;t do it, who will?<br /><br /> Web site: <a href="http://www.uofc-garden.ca/">http://www.uofc-garden.ca</a></p><p>Or contact Lindsay at 244-9606 for more info.</p><p>This event is hosted by the <a href="http://www.uofc-garden.ca">U of C Campus Community Garden</a> and <a href="http://www.calgarydollars.ca/">Calgary Dollars</a>. </p> </div> </div></div>
