Hi Heather,
Welcome to Village! I noticed that you're interested in seeds. Do you know about the (free) seed saving workshop we're having tomorrow at Kits House? It's also the kickoff of the Kits Village seed savers group and the Kits seed library. You're right next store in Fairview and would be welcome to join us.
I'll send you an invite to the workshop.
Cheers,
Ross
VV convenor
