Sharing Seeds and Seeds of Knowledge at Evergreen Brick Works Seedy Saturday

On March 2nd, we were busy exchanging seeds and seeds of knowledge at Evergreen Brick Works Seedy Saturday!  The event was buzzing with activity as attendees enjoyed workshops, seed exchanges, expert talks, and delicious food.  Our very own Chef Bashir Munye served up samples of BCCF’s Zucchini Stem Relish and our signature “Harvest Heat” Hot Sauce. The kids were also out in full force on Saturday, enjoying activities like our Garden Necklace activity with Ashley Luey.  The smiles and good vibes were everywhere! (A favourite kids’ activity!)

Thank you to all who stopped by our booth to chat, exchange seeds, or shared heart-felt support to the team. It was an exciting day of engagement and lively conversation as we championed awareness for food justice in the Black Creek Community.
