After several years away, the Gatineau Seed Festival returns to bring the community of gardeners together for a friendly and inspiring event. Organized by the La Rose des vents and Serge-Bertrand community gardens, this edition is the perfect opportunity to share knowledge, learn, and connect around gardening and urban agriculture.
A gathering for all gardening enthusiasts
The event is open to everyone, whether you are part of a community garden or simply interested in gardening. It will provide opportunities to:
- Exchange organic seeds and seedlings;
- Engage in discussions and idea-sharing among gardeners and garden coordinators;
- Share best practices in urban agriculture and discover the unique initiatives of each community garden.
This edition will be focused exclusively on seed and seedling exchanges, with large tables available for participants to display what they wish to offer.
