Image Credit: PEXELS January 30, 2021 - 7:30 AM It’s the time of year Seedy Saturdays and Sundays are sprouting in many local communities preparing for spring planting, but like most events, COVID-19 is having a lot to say about how this year’s events will be conducted. No one is more aware of that than Janet Thony, President of Coombs Farmers Institute on Vancouver Island. Her organization recently presented their COVID-19 plans for their Seedy Saturday meeting, scheduled for March 13, 2021, when the group was told by an Environmental Health official for the Island Health Authority said seeds wouldn’t be allowed at the event.
