GARDENSCAPE 2015 This year the Saskatoon School of Horticulture and the Prairie Master Gardeners are approaching Gardenscape from a new perspective. Over the past 26 years this trade show has grown and evolved. Our goal for Gardenscape 2015 is to contribute to refocusing the show on gardening and horticulture education. At SSH we are always trying to find ways to enhance our curriculum and make the education side of things even better. Our role at Gardenscape is to educate the public and to ensure our students gain experience by helping to share their love of horticulture, gardening and a healthy approach to life. Two of our second year students took on the challenge to make The Enchanted Forest a major project for their second year Project Management class. Stephanie Nielsen and Maedeh Tizhoosh have been pretty busy with growing plants and ensuring we have lots of great things to share and sell to all those attending the show. After much deliberation and brainstorming, we have embarked on a massive production. The Enchanted Forest will be 800 square feet of horticulture and gardening which will educate the public with a hefty side of enchantment. The Enchanted Forest experience will also be interactive. There will be a planted piano that is played at intervals throughout the show, and a meadow built into the garden where events like yoga, drumming, and other participatory activities will occur. There will also be a children's area with face painting and child-oriented fun. Visiting SSH during Gardenscape will be an experience to remember!
