Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group is bringing back its SEEDit garden voucher giveaway initiative, providing more than $225,000 for 4,500 $50 garden centre vouchers available on a first registered, first served basis.
Initiated in 2021, the voucher giveaway involves a number of greenhouses, nurseries and garden centres across Ontario, the two local outlets being Johnston’s Greenhouses in Peterborough and Garry’s Greenhouse in Lindsay.
Miki Paczek, director of sales and distribution for Commonwell, says the initiative was launched during the pandemic when food insecurity was a heightened issue for many.
Paczek says the initiative has caught on well beyond expectations.
Paczek adds there’s a responsibility, as a corporation, to give back where help is needed.
Starting May 1st at noon, printable vouchers are available while supplies last.
Those interested must first register online.
Vouchers can be used to purchase seeds as well any other product related to the growing of food.
