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.
Please note we are going through some staffing changes and there will be a delay in response for inquiries. The free online classes are also currently delayed due to this transition. We thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, please check out the ‘Gardening advice’ section of our website, including over 60 free online videos on a diverse range of topics which may be of interest. Even more free information is available on our YouTube channel.
