Lanark County Seedy Saturday

Help us kick off the 2024 gardening season. Plan to spend the day with us trading, swapping and shopping for seed, and many other garden-related items and produce in our gardening expo. Get free advice from the local horticulture societies; Almonte, Carleton Place and MacDonald’s Corners. The Lanark County Master Gardeners will also be on hand to help answer all your questions. We have a seed swap table and several seed banks and libraries will be in attendance. Enjoy any of our three-part lecture series or our three-part practical workshop series. The cafeteria will be open all day.
