2008 Seedy Saturday events we will be attending. Come and see us in person at the following Seedy Saturday events! We offer more than seeds. We have a growing assortment of trees, shrubs, perennials, native plants, roses, iris and blue ribbon winning naturally creamed wildflower honey from our own apiary. Though we are not certified, we follow organic growing practices.
Those who regularly attend Seedy Saturdays/Sundays always find treasures among the diversity of products offered by vendors and the knowledge of those giving workshops. If you've never attended a Seedy Saturday event, this is a chance to take advantage of the resources made available in a single forum.
