Such an amazing day of community building at Calgary Seedy Saturday

Such a well organized event and great turnout, even with the slushy snow

We were thrilled to be able to highlight communal gardening with our friends from River run communal garden, selling previously loved books to support the garden and then also creating a community garden for the children’s table where children were able to create flowers with reclaimed textiles from the Creative ReUse Calgary project.

A big beautiful day
