Haldimand Horticultural Society’s Seed and Garden Show
Thinking about spring?
The Haldimand Horticultural Society is holding a seed and garden show on April 5 from 9 to 2 at the Riverside Exhibition Centre in Caledonia.
This is not their annual Seedy Saturday anymore…Haldimand Horticultural Society has turned it into one of the largest seed and garden shows in Ontario with something for everyone – kids included.
There will be a free seed exchange table, 60+ vendors, demonstrations, games, draws, free handouts, a kid’s corner, and a café along with an arborist to answer any tree related questions.
The vendors have expanded from simply seed and garden-related vendors to include vendors with an outdoor living /patio/backyard slant as well.
A great example of such a vendor is Foret Mushrooms. This is a woman-owned company from Cambridge Ont. that would be invaluable to anyone wishing to learn about mushroom foraging on a guided hike, enjoy nature retreats or purchase mushroom products.
The Canadian Peony Society will have a booth there this year and will be available to discuss all things peony.
The Canadian Wildlife Federation will also be at this event.
There will also be two guest speakers at the show: Paul Oliver on “How to Attract Wild Birds to Your Backyard” and the Fancy Farmerettes on “Growing with Hemp.”
Turn your gardening thoughts into reality this spring with a visit to the Haldimand Horticultural Society seed and garden show.
