Welcome!

Gardening at USask offers pesticide-free growing advice online, free and low-cost public workshops and events, and ample ways to connect with local gardeners and gardening communities. We aim to serve the people of the Canadian prairies and northern Canada so all of our information is proven to work, right here. We realize that gardening is about more than fruits and flowers - it's about your health, your community, and building a relationship with your environment. All of our advice is free.
