They can also learn about urban agriculture, what makes the ideal soil biology, gas and electrical backyard safty and how to grow cut flowers, just to name a few.

Shop local, shop green is the motto for the Gardenscape Trade Show & Market Place where greenthumb shoppers can hunt for décor, plants, products, equipment, furnishings, backyard services, and more! Almost 90% of all new vendors to the show are from Saskatchewan!

Besides learning and shopping, patrons can also take in the popular GardenScapes Art Show & Sale, now in it’s 25th year, or catch one of many daily appearances by the SuperDogs™ in Rock & Roll Over sponsored by Global Saskatoon, both located inside the Main Trade Hall.

The Prairie Berry Cafe will be serving up delicious homemade berry goodness and feature desserts or patrons can visit the new Backyard Patio Bar. The Saskatchewan Blue Cross Gardenscape is a “sip and stroll” event so you can take your beverage with you as you browse.

Over 7,000 bulbs planted last fall will be in full bloom to decorate the show and display gardens and inspire your creativity! These plant materials will be up for sale or auction starting at 6:00 pm on Sunday, March 26 in the Main Trade Hall. A wonderful opportunity for growers to start their gardening season with hearty shrubs, bulbs and indoor plants!
