Our Annual General Meeting is in Calgary this year! Come out and meet our board of directors, staff, and local members.
At 10:00 visit the Atrium in the Karsten Discovery Centre, to view tables set up by local gardening groups and seed companies. Bring seeds to put in the seed exchange! At 10:30 Jeffrey Casey, from Casey’s Heirloom Tomatoes, will lead you in a Seed Saving Workshop. Then you can visit the exhibits, return to the seed exchange to pick up seeds, and enjoy lunch at the Kitamba Café.
At 1:00 see speaker Bob Wildfong, executive director of Seeds of Diversity, mix science and storytelling to reveal the secret lives of seeds, plants, and pollinators in the garden. Our annual AGM follows at 2-2:30 pm. All lectures take place in the Esso Auditorium of the Karsten Centre.
