Want to diversify your garden? Join the Vancouver Plant and Seed Exchange Network, an initiative of the Environmental Youth Alliance. Trade seeds, trade plants, and connect with local gardeners.
If you're interested in seed saving, the Urban Seedkeepers Program may be for you. Through the program, EYA will train, educate, and support 20 individuals with growing space on how to save their own seeds. In exchange the seeds will be donated back to EYA for our Community Nursery Project. This is a great way for people to learn how to save their own seeds, contribute to biodiversity and our city's seed security, and support EYA!
