Seedy Saturday brought local gardeners, seed sharing, and growing inspiration to Kimberley, kicking off the 2026 growing season. Hundreds of seed packets went home with community members — with seed libraries, workshops, and growing opportunities continuing throughout the spring.

Approximately 150 community members gathered at the Cranbrook Public Library for the city’s first Seedy Saturday — connecting with fellow gardeners, sharing knowledge, and picking up seeds for the growing season ahead.

From bannock and soup to seed sharing and thoughtful discussion, Sunday’s Tea Creek screening was a gathering rooted in connection. The documentary highlights both the challenges and the promise of Indigenous-led food sovereignty — and reminds us that building resilient local food systems starts close to home.
