Here’s what you will discover at the Gardening Expo

– Vendors: 40+ vendors selling seeds, seedlings, and gardening-related products
– Experienced Local Gardeners: take time to chat with subject matter experts about your gardening challenges
– Seed Exchange Table operated by the Cochrane & District Horticultural Society: bring your extra seeds to add to the exchange and/or purchase seeds (by donation) to fill the gaps in your garden.
– Guest Speaker Presentations: throughout the event you can take a seat in the speaker’s zone and have the opportunity to hear local gardeners share their knowledge, tips and tricks for making their gardens flourish.

Vendor Information: Are you a local gardener who would like to sell your seedlings, collected seeds, or plants? Perhaps you’re a maker of yard & garden handcrafts? If you grow or make the items you wish to sell, you may be a good fit for this event. Vendor fee is $15 for a 6′ table (provided).

Interested vendors are asked to send an email to cage@cochraneenvironment.org. Please provide your name, contact information and a description of the items you would want to sell at your table as well as a few photos if you create unique products (pictures of tomato seedlings not required…. 😉 ).

The Cochrane & Area Gardening Expo is hosted by the Cochrane Environmental Action Committee (CEAC). All proceeds will be donated to a local organization to support environmental action in the Cochrane community.
