Richard Price of Faerie Seeds is quite simply one of my very favorite people. He's knowledgeable, kind and talented. This coming weekend, Richard will be at one of his favorite places--Urban Roots--conducting a hands-on workshop on seed starting.

I still have Richard's seeds in my freezer, harvested from his beautiful heirloom tomatoes (per his instructions) and put away until now.

This will be Urban Roots' first workshop of the season. It is free of cost, and you'll walk home with a little pot of promise after learning about soil mixes, lighting and heat requirements. You'll practice potting-up and be instructed in equipment, supplies and seedling care.

Saturday, March 15 @ 2PM Urban Roots Community Garden Center 428 Rhode Island Street Materials provided!

Richard Price has 35 years of organic gardening experience, he is a former NOFA-certified organic market gardener, and a Member of the Seedsavers' Exchange.

  • The Big Bike Is Coming

    Story Image BRO’s regular readers know Buffalo is becoming more bicycle-friendly by the day, thanks to a perfect storm of factors ranging from gas prices to the health benefits of regular exercise to how great a summer breeze feels on your face. Well, add another reason to the list: riding a bike can help fight AIDS. “But John,” I hear you say, “how can riding my trusty little blue bike fight AIDS?” Well ok, it probably can’t. But riding the Big Bike on September 18 can. “But Jo …

    Story Image Now there's a mouthful... I don't think I've ever quite heard of a dedicated day longer than Sahlen’s Dog Days of Summer at Dug’s Dive Day. I guess that the point was made, and that's the important thing. Monday, September 1st is, officially, a day to enjoy a Sahlen's dog and the waterfront... it's a combo deal according to The Mayor. And as much as I'd like to see it (cough, cough), I'm probably won't be able to make it to Dug's Dive in time to see the Sahlen’s World Picnic …

  • The Main Place Mall - What Gives?

    Story Image What would it really take to recreate and re-brand the Main Street side of the Main Place Mall? While biking past 'the mall' last night I snapped a couple of photos of the mild disaster that we know as the Main Place Mall. In this day and age, how hard would it be to put a new treatment on that thing? Take down the cheesy awnings, put up some attractive signage, clean the windows, get the clutter away from the windows... there are some usable elements that could be incorporated in …
