Gardening Organizations
We are fortunate to have so many non-profits, community organizations, and dedicated volunteers connecting communities through gardening! From hands-on workshops to garden tours, there are plenty of opportunities to dig in, learn something new, and connect with others. Check out some of the great events happening in Saskatoon and across the province this summer. For more details or questions about specific events, be sure to visit each organization’s website or reach out to them directly.
Below is a list of community events related to gardening, landscaping, or nature hosted by non-profits or community organizations located in Saskatchewan. We are not affiliated with any of these organizations but we think they may be worth looking into if you want to connect with local gardeners. Have we missed anything?
