Seedy Saturday is a fundraiser for Seeds of Diversity , helping to spread awareness about the importance of preserving Canada's genetic plant heritage. Seeds of Diversity, a non-profit group of gardeners from coast to coast who save seeds from rare and unusual garden plants to ensure a living gene bank. The idea for Seedy Saturday began in Vancouver in 1989 with Sharon Rempel, volunteer Director with Heritage Seed Program, now Seeds of Diversity Canada. Seeds of Diversity is dedicated to the conservation, documentation and use of public-domain non-hybrid plants of Canadian significance. 1700 members-strong, these gardeners, farmers, teachers, scientists, agricultural historians, researchers and seed vendors volunteer their time and efforts to grow, propagate and distribute over 1500 varieties of vegetables, fruit, grains, flowers and herbs.
