THE ALTON Local Food Initiative is holding its 12th annual Seedy Saturday event in Alton Methodist Church Hall on February 12 from 10am to midday.

There will be a range of seeds to swap, and others to take in return for a small donation. Seed potatoes will also be available.

Lesley Willis of the Alton Local Food Initiative said: “For many of our regular supporters it kicks off the new growing season.

“Stay for a cup of coffee and enjoy a little time to think of warm sunny days and a garden full of colour and produce.”
