seed exchange
at VanDusen

By Layne Christensen
Community Reporter

Van Dusen Gardens
wraps up Heritage Week
with a seed exchange
Saturday, Feb. 22.

The botanical garden held
its first Seedy Sarurday eight
years agp. Since then, the idea
of a heritage seed day has
caught on with other garden
clubs across the country,
azcording to Aimee Murrell of
VanDusen’s seed collectors"
dub, which is organizing the
event.

The focus of Seedy
Saturday is the conservation of
hard-to-find heritage seeds.

“There are so many hybrids
today. We're trying to save the
basic genes of the native
plants,” says Murrell, who is

hoping to find seeds from spe-
cialty beans and squash for her
West Van garden.

Gardeners who have saved
seed from a favorite plant are
invited to join in the seed
exchange and receive someone
else’s reassured heirloom seeds.

There will also be a wide
variety of seed for sale.
VanDusen’s seed collectors’
club will be taking orders for
seeds collected in 1996. This
year, according to: Murrell, the
club has assembled 10,000
seed packages. These include
vines, shrubs, trees, grasses,
perennials, herbs, vegetables
and annuals.

The event takes place from
10.a.m. to 4 p.m., with Iectures
at ltam. 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
VanDusei is located at Oak
and 37th Avenue in Vancouver.
Admission is by donation.
