Saturday, April 18th 12:30 - 1:30pm
Spend an hour with Adam Schick - farmer, seed grower, educator, and long-time steward at Linnaea Farm. Adam has been farming in BC since the mid-1990s and has lived at Linnaea Farm since 1998, where he works deeply with small-scale ecological growing systems and seed production. He’s also a member of the BC Eco Seed Co-op, helping grow and steward regionally adapted, organic, open-pollinated seed across the province.
Adam will dig into real garden questions, seasonal realities, and the one simple idea that shapes everything he does: "plant what you can manage, not what you can manage to plant."
Come with your questions and your curiosity!

This is part of our Tool & Skill Share - a full day of practical learning, tool care, and community knowledge-sharing.
