This Saturday, March 28 One Straw Society in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Seed Collective, Sunshine Coast in Transition and Gaiacraft are offering two great community events.
Seedy Saturday takes place between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Roberts Creek Hall. This is a perfect place to find all of your organic and heritage seeds for the growing season and to visit the Sunshine Coast Seed Collective for their seed exchange (make sure you bring your seeds to trade).
Organizers will also showcase a local farmers’ market, kids’ activities, locally sourced lunch for purchase and great free workshops including seed saving, squash growing and land reclamation. You can also expect to find a clinic with the master gardeners’ club and presentations from the Sunshine Coast Fibreshed.
Entrance for the day is $2 (free for One Straw Members) and every participant will get a raffle ticket on entry. Extra raffle tickets are available for purchase at $2 per ticket or three for $5. Donations for the Food Bank will also be accepted.
New this year is the inaugural Seedy Saturday Night from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Creek Hall encouraging celebration, while promoting radical movements like permaculture, seed saving, gardening and more.
There will also be live painting, collaborative art pieces and other interactive activities including silk-screening your own T-shirts (make sure to bring a blank T-shirt along), live performances, info booths and yummy super food treats.
This event is all ages and will be alcohol free. Entrance is $15 ($12 for students) in advance and tickets can be purchased online through Brown Paper tickets, or $20 at the door ($15 for students).
If you would like to volunteer or be involved with either event, contact Kym at: [email protected].
