Seedy Saturday on Salt Spring Island

Let's head to Salt Spring for a weekend full of gardening fun (see
schedule below) and good food!

I plan on heading over there on Friday afternoon. A friend of mine lives
in a colective house on the island and she can provide free accommodations
for up to five people. I plan on staying until Sunday around lunch or
early afternoon. I will most likely bring my bicycle and do some exploring
on the island as well. Let me know if you are interested in joining me!
