When you heard of something seedy going on at Vaughan city hall in the past, no one’s first thought was that gardening was the culprit, but this time it actually is.

The city has teamed up with Seeds for Change and York Region Food Network to host Seedy Saturday, March 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the municipal headquarters, 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr.

The free event aims to bring local gardening enthusiasts together to buy, sell and trade organic and heirloom seeds for vegetables, herbs, flowers and native species.

There will also be locally sourced food, children’s activities, a community art project, vendors, door prizes and a live broadcast of TEDxManhattan’s Changing the Way We Eat.

A gardening training session, dubbed Deepening Our Roots, takes place after the event, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
