Event Details
Saving your own vegetable seeds makes your garden more sustainable, self-sufficient and saves you money!
Odette McIntyre from the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton joins the Kanata-March Horticultural Society’s June meeting and will teach us how to save seeds from heirloom varieties that are not available commercially using veggies we harvest.
Learn how to keep seeds from special ornamentals, native plants, medicinal plants or perennials you actually hybridized yourself, and how to connect with your local seed libraries and the vibrant community behind this return to grassroots effort.
This in-person meeting will be held at the Old Town Hall, 821 March Rd (laneway entrance for the Old Town Hall is on Klondike Rd, across from Shopper’s Drug Mart). Non-members are welcome for a visitor’s fee of $5, or become a member and enjoy our full 2024 program for $15.
