Weekend happenings

It’s another busy weekend in Medicine Hat and surrounding area, with a handful of events taking place.

The Seedy Saturday Seed Swap is taking place from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at the Police Point Park Nature Centre.

The event is held in conjunction with Community Food Connections and the Medicine Hat Family and Community Support Services, with people encouraged to bring extra seeds to exchange for new ones, or to bring an empty container to take some new seeds home for free.

There will also be opportunities to ask the different groups questions about gardening.

The event is free and open to the public.
