Seedy Saturday Lewes 7th February 2026.

I have never been to an event like this before and it lifted my spirits and left me with a whole new batch of seeds to test and trial, amongst other things. You did a brilliant job! Cakes were the best ever and the veggie savouries were just as good” G.T. 1st Feb 2025
