Over a thousand visitors came to Seedy Saturday Lewes this year taking part in workshops and talks, swapping their saved seeds, buying from independent garden and seed merchants, and finding out about the amazing selection of community gardening, wildflower and growing projects that there are in the town. Children were busy making paper pots and planting seeds from the minute the doors opened.
The Crooked Moon Trio created a lively atmosphere with their old-time music and by the looks of the full tables and noisy chat, visitors were enjoying the delicious food made by Seven Sisters Spices and Hamsey primary school.
People brought their garden tools along and Peter May demonstrated techniques to keep your tools sharp and working well for years to come.
