EVENT NAME:  HERITAGE WEEK GUEST SPEAKER  

INTRO: WHY SAVE OUR HERITAGE SEEDS? 
Presented by Jennifer Hutson of True North Seeds Trust, Inverary

DESCRIPTION: Can you tell the difference between food produced from a patented genetic seed or a Canadian heritage seed? Is there really a purple carrot? Tomatoes are always smooth and round, right? Do you cook heritage produce differently? Do you preserve a family heirloom garden seed? Bring your seeds and family story to the lecture. Find out the answers from an experienced grower and trained botanist. 

DATEWednesday, February 20, 2008       TIME     7 – 9 PM

LOCATION : The Arthur Child Heritage Museum, 125 Water Street, Gananoque

BACKGROUND: Celebrating the first anniversary of the Town of Gananoque Municipal Heritage Committee and Heritage Week 2008 was the perfect opportunity to work in conjunction with the local museum, The Arthur Child Heritage Museum, to provide several heritage related events during 18 – 22 February. Many other partnered events will continue through the year.

 SPEAKER INFO: Jennifer Hutson, an experienced and committed botanist, is saving Canada’s endangered garden heritage for future generations by collecting, documenting, growing, conserving and sharing heritage seeds, plants and rare open-pollinated seeds, while educating people about the value of non-hybrid versus patented and genetically engineered seeds.
