Sunday March 7, 2010,  1 till 5 pm at the Slocan Park Community Hall, in Slocan Park, BC. Admission is by donation.

This afternoon is dedicated to the novice and experience gardeners who wish to live a healthy, organic lifestyle. There's an ever increasing group of farmers who are nurturing a wide range of fruit and vegetable seed, cuttings and root stock, who participate at the event. Perhaps you have a lot of something you'd like to share, perhaps there's something you need. Heritage seeds can be found in abundance, as can ample knowledge on the issues and challenges facing the organic gardener. If needing table space it must be pre-booked.
A portion of the proceeds go toward supporting the Slocan River Valley Farmers Group.
