Be a part of the West Shore’s 4th Annual Seedy Saturday!

Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre,
55+ Seniors Activity Centre, 1767 Island Highway
Colwood, BC
Exhibitor Fees TBD
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 4th Annual West Shore Seedy Saturday, we have booked one of the most central and accessible spots on the West Shore – the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre. It’s a spot where folks are always gathering for a multitude of sports and recreation reasons and right across from BC Transit’s Colwood Exchange.
Our seed sellers and other vendors will be featured in the Auditorium, with community groups set-up just a few steps away. We hope you’ll be able to join us for our 4th annual event!
What to expect
We continue expecting to welcome an audience of largely newbie or novice growers together with some Seedy Saturday veterans.
The Juan de Fuca Rec Centre location offers more parking and transit access and makes it easier for families to join us as part of their Saturday routine … we’re even just across from the CRD’s new Beyond the Curb weekend recycling hub! We’re hoping this location will tick all the boxes for our vendors and visitors alike.
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 Royal Bay Secondary School build up their Seed Library, and we are looking forward to continuing to share seeds with both Royal Bay and Belmont Secondary Schools in 2027! Both schools work closely 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.
