All Dressed Up, Nowhere to Go

Today I attended an inspirational event called ‘seedy Saturday. There were talks on heirloom gardening and presentations by The Cottage Gardener, Urban Harvest, Tree and Twig and the Garden of Eating (Niagara project, through which hundreds of pounds of fruit, which would otherwise have gone unpicked, was donated to area food banks).  As well, very informative organizations promoting organic farming, including the National Farmers Union and Ecological Farmers Association. Of course seeds were exchanged and there were lots there to purchase. 

All this talk of fruit and vegetables has given me a creative kick start to continue my encaustic Liberty Garden series.
