The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society: Then, Now, and Tomorrow
30.4.2020 | 19:28
The YDHS had its first flower show on September 7, 1906, at the Yorkton town hall. It is difficult to imagine that in those challenging times of a young Yorkton, people took time out to have a flower show! But they did, and the group has been around, in various forms, since that time. The group has evolved from a group that consisted mainly of gardeners with large prairie gardens to a group that has a wide spectrum of gardeners, some with big gardens right to some with their “garden” in containers on a deck or patio. It doesn’t matter: the mandate of the group is to encourage an interest of horticulture in all forms.
The group has always focused on education, and to this end, our meetings still have speakers or presentations at most meetings. The topics cover everything from planting and maintaining a garden, growing flowers, growing trees and shrubs, planting containers, landscaping, and a fine focus on caring for the environment, with talks about bees and pollinators or how to make compost. We also have two plant sales every year.

Protect Yourself From Covid-19
15.4.2020 | 21:09
Ways to protect yourself from Covid-19:
- Stay home and only go out for essential services
- If you go out, use physical (social) distancing (minimum 6 ft)
- Use hand sanitizer on skin and disinfect all surfaces with disinfectant wipes that are in potential Covid contact
- Wash hands with soapy water well for at least 20 seconds which destroys the fatty protective skin of a virus ( better than hand sanitizers )
- If you don’t feel well self isolate for 14 days
- If you have a fever and cough phone Healthline: 811
- For more info and self assessment tool check out Sask. Covid -19 website:
