Adopt a Seed

The 'Adopt-a-Seed' program is a favourite feature at our Seedy Sunday event! When you arrive, make a small donation, receive your voting bean seed, and place it in the jar of the heirloom seed you think the Sudbury Horticultural Society should adopt this year. Adopting an heirloom seeds means ensuring that the sampling in the Seeds of Diversity's seed library will be maintained and protected in perpetuity. Cool!

There are three seeds in the running. Here's one of the seeds nominated this year ... KALE : BLUE CURLED SCOTCH : 50 days mature. A very friendly kale, giving you green grins from the snow covered garden in December. Frilly, blue-green leaves (similar colour to Bleu de Solaize leeks) are super nutritious, cold-hardy, and bouncy in your soups and salads. Compact plants, 12" to 15" tall, with very productive leaf growth. Interesting fact: While both are in the Brassica family, Blue Curled Scotch is actually a different genus than the Siberian/Russian varieties.
