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.

Two Seedy Saturdays are sprouting up in our region this spring! 🌱 Join us in Cranbrook on February 14th and Kimberley on March 7th for free, family-friendly community seed swaps that celebrate seed saving, local growing knowledge, and our communities exciting Seed Libraries.

On January 22, 2026, the Kimberley Cranbrook Food Network hosted a Farmer’s Forum & Appreciation Event at the Cranbrook Public Library, bringing together farmers, food producers, school food coordinators, funders, and community organizations for open, solution-focused dialogue on regional food security. This post shares key takeaways, resources, and next steps from the day.
