How do I Grow Plants for Seeds?

The Rideau 1000 Islands Master Gardens have a wide range of incredibly interesting resources to support a variety of sustainable gardening practices that you will find here

Seed Savers Exchange has excellent information on their website to help you learn how to grow plants for seed and food.  They have outstanding garden planning ideas  and crop by crop growing guides to get you started and a plethora of advice about seed saving.

  • 2020 was quite a year for KASSI -- an active program of outreach in the winter months, the huge disappointment of having to cancel Seedy Saturday, a surge in sales for local seed producers, involvement in the successful advocacy to have community gardens recognized as essential services, participation in the Garden for Good campaign, productive work by volunteers in seed-saving at community garden spaces and an estimated 155 000 healthy open-pollinated seeds grown by our seed stewards!
