Caledon, ON – Caledon Public Library, in partnership with Albion Hills Community Farm and Palgrave United Community Kitchen, invites the community to celebrate gardening and sustainability at Caledon’s annual Seedy Saturday. This free, family-friendly event takes place Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 10 am to 2 pm at the Caledon East Community Complex (6215 Old Church Road, Halls A & B) and welcomes everyone from first-time gardeners to seasoned green thumbs.
Thanks to the support of the Friends of Caledon Public Library, attendees will enjoy a special appearance by Frank Ferragine, better known as “Frankie Flowers,” who will speak from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. Arguably Canada’s most popular and trusted gardening expert and weatherman, Frankie is known for blending practical, seasonal gardening advice with humour and infectious enthusiasm. A two-time recipient of Landscape Ontario’s Garden Communicator of the Year and an eight-time winner of Toronto’s Favourite Weather Personality (Toronto Sun Reader’s Award), Frankie is also a four-time bestselling author, consultant, garden writer, and philanthropist. His Disney-inspired Tinker Bell Garden earned three awards at Canada Blooms, including Best Overall Garden. When he’s not sharing his love of all things outdoors, Frankie works alongside his family at Bradford Greenhouses—one of Ontario’s largest combined greenhouse and garden centre operations—and proudly embraces his favourite role as a father. He lives by the mantra, “If you are green, you are growing!”.
Throughout the day, visitors can explore a vibrant mix of vendors and community organizations, discover unique seeds, and take part in eco-friendly gardening conversations. Popular features include the Bring a Plant / Take a Plant table, hands-on kids’ activities, and opportunities to connect with local gardening and sustainability groups. The event also includes a café with refreshments and a book sale, making Seedy Saturday a full experience for the whole family. Please note that this is a cash-only event.
Participating organizations include Caledon Public Library, Albion Hills Community Farm, Palgrave United Community Kitchen, ecoCaledon, Friends of Caledon Public Library, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Town of Caledon, Dried Flowers by Donna, Nutritional Herbalist, Alton Village Association, and Frankie Flowers, with more vendors to be announced.
