Ladner Community Garden

Our Ladner Seedy Saturday and Garden Expo was a huge success! I would like to thank all the wonderful vendors, volunteers and customers who supported this annual event. We couldn't have done it without all of you. Thanks also goes to Ladner Baptist Church for being so giving of their time and space for our event. The venue is perfect for Seedy Saturday. We had some wonderful vendors travel quite a ways to come to our event and we are glad they did. The Planting Seeds Project came all the way from Lillooet bringing an array of seeds and a craft table for children. I was very interested in their dried vegetables that they had for sale. I guess it never occurred to me to dry my onions. What a great idea! At the craft table children used seeds to make cards. I got to see this finished project done by a young girl who was so proud to have her name written in seeds. We also had Salt Spring Seeds come over from Salt Spring Island to bring us their well known collect...

I hope you have all marked your calendars. Seedy Saturday is not far away. Vendor registrations are rolling in and this is looking like it will be a fun family event. We will be having gardening displays and speakers, educational displays, seeds, seeds and more seeds, plant specialists and interactive displays for the children. I hope you can attend. If you are a vendor and would like to attend, please shoot me an email to deltagardener@dcccnet.com and I will send you a registration package. This will be a great way to kick off the new garden season of 2012. Did you know we are the first Seedy Saturday south of the river here in Delta? I cant wait to see what new garden trends are coming!
