We are SEED.
South End Eco Development.
Located in the Bayview School area, now referred to as ‘S.E.E.D’, we have many initiatives sprouting up. To name a few; we have planted three ‘food forests’ with over 80 publicly accessible fruit and nut trees; we have constructed educational food gardens for Bayview students; we offer an on-street food bank and pocket library; we care for the restoration and maintenance of a portion on the Catstream; and we host both seasonal celebrations and work parties.
One of the most vital ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance, places where we know we are not alone.

Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop | 10–11am
Horticulurist and Arborist Blaise Barré from Yeomen Tree Service Cooperative will share his knowledge on basic plant health considerations, pruning, and the proper use & maintenance of tools.
Food Forest Work Party | 11am—2:30pm
Our Public Food Forest Trees will be pruned starting at Bayview Food Forest, then Bing Kee, then Thu-thi-qut (north end of Columbia Street). If you don't see us in one forest, check out the other ones! We‘ll prune trees, mulch the soil and reposition some plants. If you don‘t see us in one forest, check out the other ones – they are nearby.
