Seedy Sunday set for Duncan on March 17

A sure sign of spring is Duncan’s 11th Annual Seedy Sunday.

What better way to start the growing season than by stocking up on locally adapted seeds, garden starts, perennials, and gardening advice?

Featuring 30 local seed and garden vendors, community booths, a community seed exchange, food trucks and activities for kids, this event is a popular neighbourhood gathering, and a one-stop shop for all your gardening needs. This year’s event will also feature a series of four gardening workshops hosted by local experts including Dan Jason, Todd Carnahan, Fiona Hamersley Chambers and Ted Leischner.
