Hello One Straw members, my name is Yanira (Yani) Cuellar and I am the coordinator for this year’s March 6th Seedy Saturday being held at the Roberts Creek Hall. As a new member of the Coast, I am looking forward to meeting you and working with you to create this wonderful event.

As most of you know, Seedy Saturday is an annual Canadian wide event. For One Straw, it is an important fundraiser but especially important is the opportunity to come together share information, swap seeds and buy plants to help us get started on our gardens.

If you have any onestraw events or news items that need to be posted on this site, please send an email to tajh@onestraw.ca, and I will post them as soon as possible.
