The events are being held at Maison Citoyen from 10-5pm!
This is in French...but it says FREE PARKING also.

There will also be many people selling seeds (which is the main point of "la fête des semences"). I don't know if there were conferences last year, but the seed selection was very good. Lots of heirloom varieties and uncommon vegetables and herbs. I went last year and picked up way more seeds than could fit in my garden, of course... so I'm planning a larger garden this year.

Thanks for the info!
I have not gone to buy anything at the marker Thursdays in a couple weeks (was away).
Sp have not been as up to date with this event (well, more like never been to this event before).

Online it also said some vendors would be selling products from the market?
any idea who/what they are selling?

I am probably going to go to the container gardening seminars.
Don't have any actual land to use here.
