Qualicum Beach, BCQualicum Beach Civic Centre, 747 Jones St. Saturday February 4, 2012 10-3:30 10 Years of Growing: Buzzing Right Along
What’s the buzz? Seedy Saturday has been growing in Qualicum Beach for 10 years and to celebrate it’s getting back to basics--pollination. It all started with saving and sharing seeds from open-pollinated (OP) plants to ensure the survival of heritage and heirloom varieties. This special seed-sharing day has grown and, along with the traditional seed swap, there are now over 70 vendors, Farmers’ Market and master gardeners on hand to answer questions.
Expert speakers, Gord Hutchings and Linda Gilkeson will show you how to help out the pollinators in your garden, and Bernie Dinter will give you tips on getting the best fruit from your home orchard. As an added bonus, Linda Gilkeson’s books, Gord Hutchings’ mason bee condos and select plants from Dinter Nursery will be available for sale.
With all this, a raffle and great door prizes, the place will be buzzing, but don’t forget to take a break now and then for a healthy snack or lunch at the Seedy Café. Even very young gardeners can have fun at the Milner Garden’s “Shoots With Roots” program.
Admission by donation. ATM on-site.
Special Pre-Show Presentation by Linda Gilkeson, "Troubleshooting Townhall: Get Ready for Your 2012 Garden" , Friday, February 3rd at 7:00p.m. in the Windsor Room. Limited seating so get there early.

Think you know what’s on your plate? Think again.
Centering on the four-year legal showdown between biotech giant Monsanto Inc. and Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser, SEEDS leads us through a high-voltage labyrinth of political maneuvering, patent wars, cash-fuelled science and the global domination of the planet’s seed supply. A bold new documentary play by award-winning playwright Annabel Soutar and director Chris Abraham.
It is based on court trial transcripts and interviews with all the players, including, Schmeiser, Monsanto representatives, farmers, academics, lawyers and scientists from across Canada. The play features Eric Peterson (of Corner Gas fame) as farmer Percy Schmeiser.
