Eat Local Niagara’s Mike Smith led a workshop this past Earth Day on seeding vegetables and herbs. About a dozen interested students came out to get their hands dirty and to try and turn some thumbs green. They planted over 325 seedlings of tomatoes, beans, peas, basil, parley and savory. Volunteers also learned the basics of testing seed viability, and planted dozens of rouge sunflowers around the campus.
Eat Local will be sending a seed order from Johnny Selected Seeds on April 30th. If any one is interested in saving on shipping costs and want to add onto our order please bring order and money to the OPIRG office by April 30th. Terminator Seeds ONFC Buying club will also be making an order in the coming weeks. Stop by the OPIRG office to look at the ONFC catalogue if you are interested.
