As gardeners its important we both save some basic seeds like peas, beans, grain, tomatoes, greens, and that we also purchase seeds from local seed-savers like Uprising Organics Farm, to increase the genetic diversity & regional natural selection! http://www.uprisingorganics.com/

 

Spring Garden Kick-Off Event at Public Market with Seed Sharing this Sat ! If you missed the main winter seed-savers swap on Jan 30th, be sure to come by and bring any seeds to share to add to the table: 11-2pm Sat Feb 26 -http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/seed-swap-and-gardening-kick

Both Celt & Krista will have seeds to share, and Alison will bring some older seed packages from her seed-saver friend in eastern WA. And the best local heirloom seeds will be on sale, from Uprising Organics.

If you are able to volunteer with this event created by Jillian co-owner of Terra Organica at the Public Market, please get in touch with her - http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/JillianTrinkaus - Pass the word!

Perhaps Sandie Ledray, she has a fantastic woodshop!!!

Brian, if you wanted to come to Lummi Island for a workshop I've got the room and the equipment. It would have to be after mid Feb. Randy Smith

Comment by Brian Kerkvliet on December 31, 2010 at 12:39pm

I have built two top bar hives and would be willing to help out building some more but I don't really have enough space to host a group of wood workers. Anyone have the space and tools to host a group? We would need a table saw, chop saw and some hand tools and lots of table space.
