SeedLing Saturday is our much-loved annual event, held before the long weekend each May, where farmers, gardeners, and community members gather to celebrate the joys of spring and kick off the growing season together! This event is the perfect opportunity to pickup local seeds and seedlings to get in the ground at the end of May.
This year’s SeedLing Saturday will be held:
May 9th, 2026
10:00AM – 2:00PM
at the Just Food Community Farm
(2391 Pepin Court, Ottawa, K1B 4Z3)
Free parking available on site, accessible by Bus Route #25.
