Today, March 6, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. at Toronto Seedy (City) Hall, Occupy Gardens and friends are inviting the public to share the seeds of a most radish revolution, hosting Seedy Wednesday.

The event is one of many public information and brainstorming sessions in regards to the Toronto Seed Library, a new initiative supported by a wide diversity of seed and good food projects in and around Toronto. They hope to find a champion within Seedy Hall to take leadership and support this worthwhile initiative.

As an unofficial kick off to the annual seedy Saturday and Sunday events that happen across Toronto and the country, they are hosting this unconventional seed sharing event at Toronto City Hall to spur public awareness and education on issues pertaining to seed, food justice and urban agriculture.
