Kamloops Seedy Saturday 2015 Seed
Exchange Information
BRING YOUR SAVED SEEDS TO SHARE & PLACE THEM ON THE SEED
TABLE
You don't have to package them unless you would like to do so. The seeds need
to be labeled with the variety, name and date saved. Some information would be
great such as if you think that your saved seeds might have crossed with another
variety in the same species (e.g. you grew 2 different squashes) If you only grew
one variety of seeds in for the second year in order to grow seeds (e.g.
biennials such as carrots) then don't worry about crossing. Don't worry about
lettuce, tomatoes, peas, and beans as they are self-pollinating.
There is no expectation that you need to stay with your seeds. We will have signs
posted encouraging folks to take just enough for their own garden needs.
Germination rates are handy because it tells you how thickly to sow. If you havetime and want to get germination rates place 10 seeds on a wet wrung-out paper
towel in a zip lock bag. Place it in a warm area and don't let the paper towel dry
out. Within a week or so you should be able to determine your germination
rate. Simply multiply the number of seeds out of 10 that germinated times 10 to
get the percentage. 50% and above is best.
BRING YOUR OWN RECYCLED ENVELOPES if you can to put seeds into. If not
we will have some available.

are.

tickets.
Once all of the tickets have been claimed any leftover plants will be sold as a
fundraiser for Seedy Saturday so if you want to donate any feel free.

Dear Vendor at Kamloops Seedy Saturday:
Seedy Saturday exists to educate the public about the importance and value of maintaining
seed diversity by growing with local, high quality, and open-pollinated seed varieties.
In the Kamloops area, about 35% of the public are new to the event each year, so we certainlyare building awareness in this regard, assisted by the continued presence of longtime growers
with their heirloom and unique seed varieties. By establishing and maintaining standards
regarding seed and produce products, Seedy Saturday events will continue to be unique and
make a difference in our communities and for the environment overall.
Seed vendors are required to sign and return the ‘Seed Sourcing Pledge” below as part of your
registration requirements.
Kamloops Seedy Saturday is comprised of conventional, non-certified and certified organic
vendors. We have a good mix, and to continue educating the public, vendor signage and
packaging needs to be clear. Beginning in 2015, at Kamloops Seedy Saturday, Certified
Organic and Certified Natural Vendors should already have their designation on signage and
packaging. Non Certified Vendors with methods that cannot be verified are asked to avoid
“no spray and organic “ signage for public information. Descriptions of growing methods are OK
Thank you for your understanding and participation.
Daniela Basile – Coordinator, Seedy Saturday
Seed Sourcing Pledge for Kamloops Seedy SaturdayBy signing, each vendor selling seeds confirms that:
• You are not knowingly selling GMO seed;
• The seeds you are selling have been grown out by you or your designate, either on your
property or an off-site location within British Columbia that you approve;
• The seeds you are selling have been grown out by another grower for which you have an
exchange arrangement in place, and you identify this detail in your respective
catalogues;
• The seeds you are selling under your own label have been purchased in bulk from GE
Free growers in BC.
