Become a Member

You can become a supporting or active member of Salt Spring Sanctuary Society.

A supporting membership helps the Sanctuary out with important seed money. We will issue an official receipt for income tax purposes in the amount of your donation at tax time.

A $20 active membership gives you access to the seeds of the Sanctuary. You can choose up to five varieties from our databases. If you send us records of how they do, you will be entitled to choose another five varieties the next time around.   As long as you continue to maintain varieties and let us know about them, your initial membership fee keeps you as an active member.

The quantity of seed we send you will depend on your availability of growing space and our availability of seed. If you want more than five varieties, we'll request an additional donation. If you're happy with us choosing the seeds for you, we'll gladly do that.

By becoming a member of the Seed and Plant Sanctuary, you help to preserve Canada's rich diversity of food and medicinal plants in a time when our agricultural heritage is threatened more than ever.
