Be a part of the West Shore’s 3rd Annual Seedy Saturday!
Saturday, March 7, 2026
11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Royal Bay Secondary School,
3500 Ryder Hesjedal Way, Colwood, BC
Exhibitor Fee: $35
A community collaboration with Flourish! School Food Society
West Shore Seedy Saturday organizers are eager to again work together with farmers, seed vendors, gardeners, and community groups to co-create a Seedy Saturday event, which reflects the vibe of a rapidly growing area, teeming with young families and active seniors looking to save money and do their part to shift to more sustainable ways.
For this 3rd Annual West Shore Seedy Saturday, we have more space for our exhibitors, a dedicated area for speakers to share knowledge throughout the day, and for this edition we’ll also have the terrific “Eat Your Fruits & Veggies Quilt Show” on offer from the students of Royal Bay Secondary School.
What to expect
We are again expecting to see a mixed audience of largely newbie or novice growers together with some Seedy Saturday veterans. This year, we’re picking up stakes and moving on over to Royal Bay Secondary School, where we’re excited to be able to have all of our exhibitors in one spot and on the main floor in the school’s bright and beautiful atrium.
The location is more accessible with plenty of parking and within easy walking distance for many residents, and the event space is modern with a large amount of natural light. It will be a terrific space for people to browse seed selections, chat with knowledgeable folks, and ask lots of questions.
If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, we encourage you to complete the Exhibitor Application Form as soon as possible.
Last year, we helped Belmont Secondary School with building their own Seed Library, and we are looking forward to working with students and teachers at Royal Bay Secondary School to carry on this relationship in 2026! Royal Bay is already working with Matthew Kemshaw and the Flourish! School Food Society, our Seedy Saturday event partners.
If you are interested in exhibiting or vending, please read the following Exhibitor Information, and complete the application form below. This event seeks to support local seed exchange and small-scale local seed growers; therefore, we ask that all exhibitors adhere to the conditions outlined below.

This year, we are again asking Exhibitors for a table fee of $35 to help offset event production and promotion costs as we continue to work in support of community food security on the West Shore. Thank you.
