It’s time to gear up for gardening.

The ninth annual Sooke Seedy Saturday is at the Sooke Community Hall on Feb. 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sooke Food CHI presents Seedy Saturday, Sooke’s one-day seed and local food growing event.

The day showcases a range of seed and plant vendors, a seed exchange table, plus educational displays featuring information on everything from composting, to keeping bees, workshops, and a Kids Zone.

Admission is by donation, with a suggested amount of $5. Attendees can also expect opportunities to buy tickets for raffles.

This year the raffle donations will support Harmony Project Sooke, a non-profit society that provides musical instruments and instruction to children in the Sooke area.

Food CHI is also teaming up with the Sooke Fall Fair. Fair volunteers will offer lunch and host a market during Seedy Saturday.

Volunteers are always welcome. Please go online to www.sookefoodchi.ca for more information.

Sooke Food CHI is a local non-profit food security group working to create vibrant, sustainable food systems for the region.
