30th Annual Shuswap Seed Swap

2024 is an exciting year for the Shuswap Seed Savers as it marks the 30 anniversary of the Shuswap Seed Swap. What began in 1994 as a small grassroots event in Gabriele Wesle’s kitchen with some friends and fellow gardeners has grown thru the years to include over 50 vendors showcasing their seeds and gardening expertise to 2000 plus local gardening enthusiasts.
Join us March 2nd from 10-3 at The Splatsin Community Centre in Enderby. Admission is by donation.
We have an exciting assortment of educational presentations and information tables including:
Emily Jubenvill – Shuswap Organics 10:30 Composting
Jazmyn Evans Grow & Change Horticultural Services 11:30 Pest Control
Sue Moore 1:00 Seed Saving
Sarah Johnson 2:00 Bees as Pollinators
Several food vendors will also be on site. A children’s play area will be set up with fun gardening activities for youngsters.
Be sure to check out the Silent Auction tables and our free Seed Swap tables. If you have spare seeds they can be dropped off in advance at the Okanagan Regional Library in Enderby and our volunteers will begin packaging them for the Seed Swap. Seeds can also be dropped at the Seed Swap on March 2nd.
