🌱 Event Schedule

1:00 – 2:00 PM | Knowledge Sharing &amp; Lightning Talks
Local growers and community members will share short presentations on topics such as seed saving, starting seeds in our northern climate, preserving locally adapted varieties, and practical gardening tips for Northern Ontario.

2:00 – 4:00 PM | Community Seed &amp; Plant Swap + Social
Bring seeds, plant starts, bulbs, or seedlings to exchange with fellow gardeners. This open swap is a relaxed opportunity to share seeds, meet local growers, and connect with others preparing for the growing season.

🌾 Northern Spring Tasting Table

While you browse and connect, enjoy seasonal samples inspired by seeds, plants, and ingredients that reflect our northern food culture.

All ingredients featured in the tasting table are available at The Commons Makers Co-op, making this a great opportunity to discover locally sourced foods and stock your pantry while preparing for the growing season.

🌿 Bringing Seeds or Plants

Gardeners are encouraged to bring seeds, plant starts, bulbs, or seedlings to swap or share with others.

Seeds can be traded, shared freely, or offered in exchange for other varieties. If possible, please label seeds with the variety and year saved to help other gardeners know what they’re growing.

We also recognize that many attendees may be new to gardening or seed saving and may not yet have seeds to trade. In some cases, growers may choose to offer seeds for a small contribution or suggested donation, helping new gardeners access locally adapted varieties while supporting the growers who steward them.

⸻

🌱 Optional Registration for Seed Savers

If you are planning to bring seeds or plants to share, we would appreciate you completing a quick Gardener &amp; Grower Info Form.

Registration is not mandatory, but it helps us plan the space and ensure we have enough tables and seating for everyone participating.

The form also provides an opportunity to suggest topics for our “Timmins Gardeners Lightning Talks.” If you have knowledge or experience to share — such as seed saving, composting, pollinator plants, or northern growing tips — you can indicate your interest there.

The form takes 2–5 minutes to complete.

🔗 You can find the registration link in our bio.

📚 Presented in Partnership with the C.M. Shields Centennial Public Library Seed Library

This event is presented in partnership with the C.M. Shields Centennial Public Library Seed Library, a free community resource dedicated to promoting biodiversity, seed saving, and climate-resilient gardening across our region.

The Seed Library provides free access to seeds, hosts seasonal workshops and educational programs, and maintains a strong collection of gardening books and resources to help growers build skills and confidence.

🌾 Growing Community

At The Commons Makers Co-op, we believe strong local food systems begin with strong local seeds.

By bringing together gardeners, seed savers, and growers, events like this help strengthen our regional growing network, support northern seed stewardship, and build a more resilient local food community.

🌱 Bring seeds or plants if you have them. Come to learn if you don’t. Everyone is welcome.
