Pollination Project and Watershed Farm

BAKER SETTLEMENT, NOVA SCOTIA

On August 28, we invite you to attend a very special series of musical 
performances in the most idyllic setting you're likely to encounter.

Set on the stunning site of Pollination Project and Watershed Farm, a 
working organic farm that hosts workshops and events on Arts, Ecology, 
Health and Society, this festival will be an unforgettable day of music, 
workshops, food and fun for all ages.

This musical event will be closely tied with a very special weekend-long 
workshop about seed-saving, biodiversity, and health.

Throughout the day there will be workshops that will teach us how to save 
seed, grow food, and simply live more lightly and joyfully on the planet.

Expect to eat well, listen and dance to vibrant music performances, learn 
new skills, meet new friends and enjoy a day-long extravaganza in the 
prettiest setting imaginable.

For those interested in staying for the Seed Saving Workshops the following 
day, accommodation can be arranged from elegant suites, airy dorms to simple 
camping arrangements. Email us for more details on the workshops.

There will be giant puppets for the kids, local craftspeople and artisans, 
local food and walking tours of the farm.  This is an event not be missed 
and a day never to be forgotten. We want you here with us!!

Seed Saving Workshop:

10:00 to 3:00 at Watershed Farm (768 Allen Frausel Road, Baker Settlement), 
August 29th. Cost: $55

Part of a very special weekend at Watershed Farm, the workshop is closely 
tied with the first annual Watershed Music Festival on the 28th (1:00 to 
dark). On the 28th we'll have lots of music and different workshops 
throughout the day, and on the 29th we'll have a slightly more advanced (and 
much quieter!) seed workshop. We'll go into great depth for this one 
covering each crop individually as well as covering broader topics like 
threshing and storage. Also exciting will be a lesson on hand pollination of 
squash from local squash guru Chris Sanford! Included is a delicious organic 
lunch along with snacks, you'll get to head home with seeds of both mine and 
Dan's as well as seed garlic from Watershed Farm. You can register online at 
www.pollinationproject.org. Spots are filling up fast!
