History and Heritage Seeds with ‘Revival Seeds’
We invite you to a special opportunity at the Paradise Heritage Centre when we combine an amazing family history with a chance to learn about heritage seeds and how to grow them.
In 1903, Iwan and Anna Guryn immigrated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire (which is now known as the Western Ukraine) to Canada with fifteen dollars and a trunk of assorted seeds. Today Ken and Kathy Byrka carry on the family memory and method of seed preservation and sustainable farming. They hold to values that matter today – care of the land, respect and gratitude for those who have come before us, and innovative plans for tomorrow.
They will bring family stories from generations for you to hear, seeds for you to buy, and answers to your questions as you think about how you might garden – whether in porch containers or fertile fields.
The event will take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at 3:00 pm at the Paradise Heritage Centre
Admission is free but we ask you to register so we can plan appropriately.
Light refreshments will be served.
