The "Red Barn", aka the main building from the Terra Nova Farm Centre,  hosted the 2012 edition of the Seedy Saturday, an interesting spring event sponsored by Vancouver Costal Health, The City of Richmond and Vancity.

People bought seeds, gardening supplies, "grow your own mushrooms" kits, honey,  fruit trees (heritage apples and crabapples), and small seedlings of Currant, Grape,  LingonBerry, Huckleberry, Bluebbery and Cranberry.



















We've chosen seeds of Havanah Tobacco, renewed for its usage as "aphid killer", Quinoa and Salsify (named also Vegetable Oyster).

Also we had fun learning in an interactive workshop about urban permaculture. The kids were really excited to learn about how to make "seed bombs" - they couldn't wait to try out.
