Make Your SHS Membership Pay for Itself!

If you've considered joining the SHS but want to know more about what's in it for you, you've come to the right place! For the majority of members, the $15 annual membership pays for itself and then some via discounts from our community business partners. 

The majority of business partners offer discounts that are approximately equal to 10% off your purchase, so if you typically spend $150 or more on garden supplies at the participating businesses in a year, your membership easily pays for itself. The membership also provides access to gardening workshops and volunteer opportunities that get you into events like Gardenscape for free. 

In 2022, our business partners and their associated discounts are as follows:

Arbour Crest Tree Services - 10% discount on removal or pruning of trees and shrubs

Bergamot & Basil Specialty Herbs - Free basil with purchase of any nine plants (in person only)

The Berry Barn - $5 off purchase of $50 or more (before taxes). Plants only, no merchandise

Join us at Gardenscape!

Step into spring at Prairieland Park from March 25^th-27th.  The SHS Gardenscape Committee has been busy planning our booth for this in-person event.  We are going to set up a display to stimulate your senses and include plants and elements with interesting colours, textures, and sounds.     

We are still looking for volunteers for our booth at Gardenscape, especially for Saturday and Sunday.  If you are interested in receiving a free admission pass to Gardenscape in exchange for working one shift at our booth, please fill out the Google Form at this link.

At our booth, we will be selling memberships, cherry pitters, replacement springs and gaskets, and bee nests. The cherry pitters work well with sour cherries and come in two styles, suction and clamp.  The bee nests are for solitary pollen bees and feature different sized holes for different sized bees.  Solitary bees are in decline because of loss of habitat, so pick up a bee nest to take part in saving the bees. (And if you'd like to see the bee nests in action, check out this video from our Cultivating Resilience video series.)

A huge THANK YOU to those who are going to be volunteering at Gardenscape - passes will be mailed the week of March 14.     

Please come by the SHS booth and talk gardening, renew your membership, and see what is happening with the Saskatoon Horticultural Society this year.  Don’t forget to enter your name for one of our door prizes. 

Hope to see you all there!
