From February 9 to 11, 2018, Espace pour la vie is presenting Seedy Weekend at the Jardin botanique de Montréal. Organized by Alternatives, this major urban agricultural event in Montréal will launch the gardening season in style.
This annual event brings together professional and home gardeners, who come to chat, swap seeds, pick up new ones, buy gardening material and attend free lectures and educational workshops.
Of course, the event is open to everyone interested in meeting organic seed producers and discovering our rich and diverse plant heritage.
Festivities will start at noon on Friday, February 9 and continue all weekend long.
