The snow has melted; honey bees are voraciously foraging; school garden education programs are in full swing; seedlings are patiently awaiting transplanting; and EGP has hired two new farmers!

Thanks again to everybody who came out for our Seedy Saturday event at Lonsdale Quay; it was great to see so many folks as enthusiastic about seeds as we are! We have many exciting events to share with you so be sure to read on!
