Cultivating Growth Through Connection
Seedy Sunday is Edmonton’s premier event for gardeners of all levels, bringing together a passionate community to celebrate seed saving, local food systems, and sustainable gardening practices. This beloved event, revived in 2007, continues to inspire Edmontonians to grow their gardens and connect with others who share their passion for cultivating a greener future.
Seeds and Scions: Growing Opportunities
While Seedy Sunday is rooted in the tradition of seed saving, it also offers opportunities to explore more advanced gardening techniques like grafting. Scions from established fruit trees are available for gardeners looking to grow specific varieties or create custom fruit trees. Whether you’re looking to expand your seed collection or explore grafting, Seedy Sunday is a starting point for countless gardening possibilities.
