  • Ensure that growers in Scarborough will have seeds for the foods that matter to them
  • Build a supportive network of growers that will learn, share seeds and celebrate food together
  • Teach others about the importance of saving seed, growing food locally and creating pollinator gardens

 

You will receive:
  • Information and workshops on how to grow and save seeds
  • Campaign materials that show your participation in the campaign – garden signs, stickers, envelopes
  • Different varieties of seeds saved by other local growers
  • An invitation to the final celebration of the project
