Shop local, shop green is the motto for the Gardenscape Trade Show & Market Place where green thumb 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 26th year, or catch one of many daily appearances by the SuperDogs™ in Tail Gate Party sponsored by Global Saskatoon, both located inside the Main Trade Hall.

The Prairie Berry Café will be serving up delicious homemade berry goodness and feature desserts. Visit the Belgard Backyard Patio Bar for a refreshing beverage or our new Beef on a Bun station for something more savoury.

Thousands of bulbs planted last fall will be in full bloom to decorate the show and display gardens and inspire your creativity!
