Bring Food Home: Scaling Up Ecological Seed Production in Canada
Erosion in the garden
Fall Friendraiser and AGM in Saskatoon
It was -23°C in Saskatoon, but the smiles were warm at our Annual General Meeting and Friendraiser on November 9. Michelle Smith, all the way from Cape Breton Island, and local seed growers Jim Ternier and his daughter Rachelle started the afternoon with a Basic Seed Saving presentation to a packed room of eager gardeners and farmers. Michelle is a seed grower and representative of the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security. Her experience growing seeds, and guiding new seed growers through the challenges of producing and selling quality seeds has given her a lucid and sensible way of explaining even the more complex principles behind our craft. Jim and Rachelle operate Prairie Garden Seeds, and delighted everyone with samples of many-coloured heritage tomatoes, beans, lettuce seeds, and a few unusual seeds that even the experts didn't recognize. |
