Make your garden produce more delicious, more nutritious, and be more planet-friendly by gardening with diversity! Learn how to find and grow over 3000 varieties of vegetables and fruit, from heritage seeds produced by back-yard gardeners all across Canada. Learn how to recognize and attract non-stinging native bees to pollinate your garden produce. The biodiversity in your back yard is the key to a successful garden. Discover it, and grow!

Bob Wildfong is the head gardener at the Waterloo Region Museum, the Executive Director of Seeds of Diversity Canada, and the founder of Pollination Canada. A seed saver and educator for over 20 years, Bob has taught more than 60 seed-saving and pollinator monitoring courses for gardeners and farmers, and is the author of How to Save Your Own Seeds.

Bob will bring some samples of seeds to give out at the presentation, and will bring copies of the book to sell at our discounted price.
